Built in 1300, the Obertor is the last remaining medieval city gate in Neuss. Expanded in the 14th and 15th centuries, it features tuff stonework with basalt inserts and brick. The three-story twin-tower gate with its double-height lower level highlights its historical importance on the trade route to Cologne.
