The former city gate tower, now called Inntor, is part of the former late Gothic city fortifications and is the only remaining city gate in Rattenberg.

The listed gate tower features a Gothic pointed arch gate on the city side and a round arch portal on the inside.

The building is three stories high, has a gable roof, and likely dates from the second half of the 14th century.

Directly behind it was the old Inn bridge, which was only dismantled in 1839. The tower is always a true eye-catcher when passing through the gate.

This old city tower (see history below) has been fully converted into living space and used as such in recent years.

At the top of the tower is a magnificent viewing terrace with a breathtaking view of the Tyrolean mountains and the Inn River. (Subject to approval, expansion with an additional small room is possible.)

Rattenberg lies between rock and the Inn River at the foot of a castle from the 10th century. Historically, the town served as a transshipment point for goods on the Inn shipping route and as a customs post on the border between Tyrol and Bavaria. The historic center is built in the Inn-Salzach style and is now a pedestrian zone.

Rattenberg was first mentioned in documents in 1254 as Ratinberch. It may be a short form of the personal names Radolt or Ratpot – a name frequently found among the Counts of Andechs, who held estates in this area. It is uncertain whether a place called Ratpotenberg, documented in the 12th century, refers to this location. In 1393, it was elevated to a Bavarian town. Under the protection of the castle, the settlement developed along the road between the Inn and the town hill. A wall and a moat enclosed the town to the east. The South Tyrolean road leading east forms the town square as a kind of center. After floods, the town was raised several times.

The four Bavarian duchies after the territorial division of 1392.

Like the rest of Tyrol east of the Ziller (Zillertal), Rattenberg belongs to the Archdiocese of Salzburg. Until the Landshut War of Succession, Rattenberg was politically part of Bavaria. In 1505, Maximilian I secured possession of the towns of Rattenberg, Kufstein, and Kitzbühel and their surroundings, formerly belonging to Bavaria-Ingolstadt and later Bavaria-Landshut, through the Cologne arbitration that ended the war. However, until the 19th century, the regional law of Emperor Ludwig of Bavaria still applied in these areas. In 1514, the reconciliation between the Bavarian Duke Wilhelm IV and his younger brother took place in Rattenberg.

In 1805, all of Tyrol came under Bavarian control, and during the Tyrolean uprising, the Bavarian officer Wilhelm von Metzen died by suicide in Rattenberg in 1809 in a sensational incident.

In 2013, the town area was placed under ensemble protection (monument protection). Thus, Rattenberg became the second town ensemble in Tyrol after Hall and the 30th in Austria.
