It is the only one of the original four city gates still standing. It was originally called the Castle Gate, as the Cham Castle stood on the site of the adjacent old building. However, after it lost its former function, an electoral brewery for wheat beer was established here in 1642. Thus, the Castle Gate became popularly known as the "Beer Gate." Its squat shape with its massive round towers and covered pointed arch is reflected in the coat of arms of the city of Cham as a landmark.

Parish Church of the Assumption of Mary The first church was probably a wooden building, as was common at the time. It was probably destroyed during one of the Hungarian raids around 910. The second church was probably built in the Romanesque style from Regensburg and destroyed by King Ottokar II of Bohemia. Construction of an early Gothic church began in the second half of the 13th century. The stonemason's marks indicate the involvement of the Regensburg Cathedral workshop. The north tower and choir of this third church, as well as the beginning of the early Gothic triumphal arch, are still preserved. The south tower had to be rebuilt in the 19th century due to dilapidation. Major damage to this third church during the Hussite Wars made it necessary to rebuild the three-aisled hall. The fourth, late Gothic church was built on the remains of the columns and old foundations. The church complex stands within the quadrangle of a formerly fortified cemetery; it is a three-aisled structure with twin towers. In the southwest corner stands the St. Anne's Chapel, and in the northeast corner is the two-room charnel house with the mortuary, which has been built over since 1965. The Baroque high altar was probably built by Fidelis Ittelsberger from Cham; the altar is a High Baroque backdrop altar. A total of 26 putti and angels accompany the oil painting at the rear. Figures of the apostles Peter and Paul act as altar guardians. The altarpiece of the right side altar depicts the attire of St. Walburga by her uncle Boniface. The two are surrounded by Walburga's two brothers, Willibald and Wunibald, and her parents Richard and Wuna. The altar guardians are the figures of Barbara with chalice and sword, and Catherine with book and palm. The left side altar was built in 1939 by the Schierer workshop in Cham for the 1200th anniversary celebrations, based on the right altar. The altarpiece depicts the Archangel Michael fighting the dragon. Church painter Willi Diernhöfer painted it in 1939. The two patron saints of cattle, Leonhard and Wendelin, serve as altar guardians. The church's oldest furnishing is a Romanesque baptismal font in the shape of a hemisphere. Christ and the twelve apostles can be seen around the font, with plant ornaments in between. Approximately 130 epitaphs and gravestones have been preserved on the walls, the exterior walls, and the interior floor. Source: Excerpts from www.wikipedia.de
