Gatehouse
The term gatehouse describes a building that is structurally connected to a gate - be it that the building is attached to the gate or that the gate is integrated into the house.
Castle and city gates
Gatehouses at castle and city gates stood next to gates, or the gate was integrated into the gatehouse. Here the gate is in the foreground and the building is attached. These gatehouses were regularly used as accommodation for the guards. In addition, they were used to collect taxpayers' money in the form of road tolls or paving money . That is why there were some at the city gates.

Mansions
Gatehouses in the larger mansion gates are buildings in front of these central buildings, through which an entrance to the courtyard was created. The focus here is on the building and not the gate, both of which form a harmonious unit. The rooms of these gatehouses were regularly used in the wings as servants' quarters and horse stables. Granaries were located above the gatehouse. These gatehouses often had turrets and clocks.
