Segringer Tor
City Gate and Tower in Dinkelsbühl
After being besieged by Swedish troops in 1649, the ‘Segringer Tor’ (Segringen Gate) collapsed and was reconstructed in the Baroque style in 1655. The adjacent town wall served as a protective barrier, securing the southwestern flank with several fortified towers. Within the gate passageway, a stairwell leads down to the town moat. From the expansive Segringer Straße, one can enjoy a picturesque view of the old town’s rooftops and the majestic ‘Münster St. Georg’ (Cathedral of St. George). As early as 1889, artists began discovering the charming town, making Dinkelsbühl a sought-after summer destination for renowned painters.
