"Das Ostentor am Ostrand der Altstadt von Regensburg wurde um 1300 zum Schutz der sogenannten „Ostenvorstadt“ errichtet. Das gotische fünfgeschossige Bauwerk besteht aus einem viereckigen Turm mit zwei achteckigen Türmen an beiden Flanken. In den Obergeschossen sind Schießscharten und Gusserker zu sehen.

Im Jahr 2007 wurde das Bauwerk unter Förderung des Freistaates Bayern umfassend innen und an der Fassade saniert."
