Hiking

In earlier times there were a total of five such gates in the city wall. Only the "Old Sheep Gate" remains of them and the Wall. The gate has its name for a reason: It was there that the duties for the sheep that were to be sold on the market were collected. So at this gate you come across a very old relic of the Middle Ages, which was built in the 13th or 14th century. Today, the gate is above all a beautiful photo motif.

The only preserved city gate of the former fortified wall around Trim. Beautiful motif with a view of the castle
