Schwabentor: the Gateway to Freiburg

First built in the 13th Century, the Schwabentor is one of two remaining gateways in the medieval defensive wall of Freiburg. We walked through this impressive structure each day on our way to and from the city's historic center.

The city's patron, Saint George, is depicted as a dragon hunter on the exterior wall
