The tower of the Lower Gate, the so-called King's Tower, is the only one of the city fortifications that has survived. The ground floor still shows remains of the 13th-century tower.

A great destination for an outing - both the beautiful Spielberg Castle and the sculpture park. Especially beautiful in the evening atmosphere with a great view of the Altmühlsee and the Hesselberg.
