The thick rubble stone walls and the conical roof of the tower tell of an era when Seßnitz was still a protected settlement. The narrow loopholes and the old wooden gate give it a touch of mystery – as if one could hear the clinking of swords or the shouts of guards at any moment. 🏹🐦

One of the most famous Franconian monuments is the Segnitz Cemetery Gate. It was donated and built by Hans Kesenbrod as part of the cemetery's construction in 1607. That year, 90 people died of the plague, leaving the burial ground around the local church insufficient. The arcaded walkway in the cemetery contains valuable epitaphs and frescoes from the 16th and 17th centuries. The so-called "Keerl or Vinegar Monument" commemorates the wine merchant Valentin Keerl and the once flourishing wine trade and local vinegar industry.
