The Twelve Tower was built between 1468 and 1472 above the town's main entrance and served as the upper town gate, at a time when the nearby silver mine in Ridnaun brought prosperity to the region and Sterzing experienced its rise as a Fugger town. Two marble plaques above the archway still commemorate the laying of the foundation stone by Duke Sigismund of Austria in 1469. In 1867, the Gothic spire burned down and was subsequently replaced by the current stone stepped gable.
