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.

The ensemble encompasses the buildings on Schlossplatz, located at the highest point in the city, and its entrances from the west and east. The complex dates back to the 13th century, when the Bavarian dukes built a new customs post and a castle to secure the highway to Bohemia on a prominent hilltop east of the old village of Furt, situated at the crossing over the Chamb River. The ducal Pflegschloss, already devastated in the Hussite Wars and the Thirty Years' War, was destroyed, except for the Lärmerturm, in the city fire of 1863.
