This door is part of the three doors of the city of Turckheim, allowing access to the road called Niedermorschwihr
The Porte de Brand or Oeltor is one of the three gates of the city of Turckheim, formerly the most defensive of the three. It was originally equipped with a portcullis and a drawbridge. Its massive architecture is adorned with a sculpture named Gorgon whose purpose was to mock the enemy! But in fact, where does the Brand Tower get its name from? It comes from the vineyard classified as a Grand Cru. The Tour du Brand gives access to the road called Niedermorschwihr which passes through the Brand pass, winding between the vineyards.

Moins jolie que la Porte de France, la Porte du Brand avait une vocation plus défensive. Cette porte était dotée d'une herse, d'un pont-levis enjambant un fossé et de deux portes battantes que l'on gardait soigneusement fermées, sauf lors de la saison des vendanges. Au 19è siècle, la Porte du Brand se voit surmontée de sa girouette. Le début des années 2000 fut l'occasion d'une nouvelle rénovation, intérieure et extérieure.
