Segringer Tor
Segringer Tor rises in Dinkelsbühl, Germany, as a five-story plastered gate tower within the medieval city fortifications. Its cornice gives the façade a clear horizontal line. The surrounding town preserves a medieval townscape and lies along the Romantic Road through historic German settlements.
Antonio Don reconstructed the tower between 1655 and 1660. An onion dome and lantern crowned it in 1749, creating the silhouette visible above Dinkelsbühl’s roofs. A nineteenth-century stone staircase connects the gate to the northern wall.
Travelers and traders once passed through this entrance, while fortified walls protected a city positioned on important trade routes. The lantern sits above the onion dome. Plaster, cornice, dome, lantern, staircase, and wall form one compact architectural view.
