In contrast to its historical appearance, the Ochsentor is of more recent date. Demolished in 1865, it was rebuilt in 1985/86 based on historical drawings thanks to a private foundation.

Anyone interested in the history of the Swiss Confederation cannot help but pay a visit to the Winkelried Memorial (the place where he is said to have died heroically). The nearby and unfortunately busy "Battle Street" makes it difficult to imagine that the Swiss and Habsburgs once stood hostilely against each other here.
