Am Eingang des Klostergeländes des ehemaligen Zisterzienser-Klosters Heisterbach befindet sich ein barrockes Pfortenhaus. Auf der Innenseite über dem Eingangstor befindet sich eine Steintafel, die zwei Chronogramme mit dem Baujahr des Gebäudes 1750 beinhaltet:

Der obere Teil lautet:
paX CVIqVe IntrantI rVrsVM paX hInC reDeVntI
übersetzt: Friede dem, der hier eintritt, und Friede dem, der von hier zurückkehrt.
Chronogramm: XCVIVIIVVMXICDVI = 1750

Der untere Teil lautet:
roMae sanCto De soLo at toLLebar
übersetzt: In Rom, aber der Boden leicht. (?)
Chronogramm: MCDLLL = 1750

Zwischen den beiden Chronogrammen ist schwach "ANNO" zu erkennen, um darauf hinzuweisen, dass es sich bei den Texten um versteckte Jahreszahlen handelt.
