Barbican and City Gates of Wolframs-Eschenbach

Highlight • Historical Site

The barbican (or the barbican) is a defense work in the form of a round bastion, which is located in front of the gate of a late medieval or renaissance-era castle or city wall. The round in classic Baumanier design served as a cannon bastion without preferential direction for judging the freely deployed there cannons. The Barbacans are an attempt to react to the firearms in the second half of the 15th century by adding gates and defensive structures to defend the gates. Later Raveline were used in a similar function.

Historic Old Town of Merkendorf

Highlight • Historical Site

A completely preserved city wall from the 14th century with eight city wall towers and three city gates is a testimony to an eventful history. A special gem is the historic old town with the beautiful town hall from the 15th century and the lifelike herb fountain.
