Small, rather inconspicuous building from 1464… located directly at the parking lot of the town hall

The customs house was built in 1464 from basalt rock and, together with the outwork, is the oldest building in the city. Here the tax collector collected the taxes and tolls for the lord of the castle. In 1825 the customs house became the property of the town of Ulrichstein and was used as a market house. From 1945 to 1965 it served as a residential building. After a renovation in 1968, it housed a small local history museum.
