Blade Gate

Blade Gate (Klingentor) is a fascinating monument of medieval defense architecture dating back to the 14th century. This impressive gate was a key part of Rothenburg's defense system, combining military and religious functions thanks to its unique connection to St. Wolfgang's Church.

The gate's tower offers a picturesque view of the city and surrounding countryside, making it a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Note the elaborate stonework details and the unusual entrance tunnel, which made it difficult for attackers to attack directly.
