The main gate of Coburg Fortress, also known as the Peterstor, is far more than just an entrance – it is an impressive testament to fortress architecture and the representation of the Dukes of Saxe-Coburg. Its current appearance largely dates back to around 1600 under Duke Johann Casimir. It is a classic tower gate, formerly protected by a drawbridge. The massive walls and arrow slits underscore the fortified character of the complex.

Like the castle itself, the entrance gate is also very impressive!

The whole complex is very impressive. Everything is really well preserved and free to visit, except for the museum
