The “Burgtor” or castle gate is simpler in design than the Wenzel Gate. The tower at the top of the roof was rebuilt in 1799 after being struck by lightning. The actual gate dates back to the late Middle Ages, and the exterior facade was decorated by the “Gallerin“.

Below it is the following inscription: “Jesus and Mary be with me! Katharina Gallerin Freyin, born Wechsler, Freyn Frau of Stain, Rieghkerspurg and Liechteneckh. Written in the year 1653.”

Immediately to the left in the passage is a square depression. The locking bar that kept the gate closed was locked into this depression.

The castle chapel, built by the Walseer family around 1400, is located behind the window at the top right.

The iron rings on the ceiling of the passage were once used to hang buckets or leather bags filled with water for firefighting purposes.

The wooden poles with iron hooks are fire hooks for pulling out objects in case of a fire.

The foot of a billy goat was nailed to the gate to keep evil away. It was intended to show the devil, who is often depicted with goat’s legs, that he was not feared and what would happen to him if he tried to force his way in.
