Kempen - Kuhtor der Stadtmauer 03

Of the four city gates, which previously secured access to the town of Kempen,

only the cow gate tower is preserved.

 

His name has an old cattle drive, to the lush pastures in the north led fracture.

The modern St. Claus statue on the Door passage reminiscent of the fact that

one of here to Nicholas Chapel at the level of "Schloot" arrived,

a border crossing to the Duchy Geldern.

 

Religious representations of such gates should worship on leaving the city

and the prevention of threats such as war and pestilence are used to.

 

From 1896 to 1898 to the present were it rebuilt.

 

At the different brick color, you can still see clearly where the third Floor,

with its Gothic towers was installed.
