This gate of the old ramparts, flanked by a tower, dates back to the 13th century but was extensively modified in the 16th century. You will recognize it by its 15th century clock and its imposing size: at 61 m, it is the highest of its kind in Switzerland. Don't miss the picture of the Danse Macabre by the painter Felix Hoffmann on its southern side. The five lower floors of the tower were once used as prison cells, the warden's apartment was on the tenth floor, while the top floor houses a carillon consisting of eleven bells.
