“Zehenthof, Kalter- oder Inspectionshaus". 1685/86 von der Ansbach-Kloster-Birkenfelder Dorfherrschaft an Stelle eines Vorgängerbaus errichtet. Kelterstation und Sammelstelle für den herrschaftlichen Zehnt.

Das Anwesen gehörte ursprünglich der Abtei Auhausen an der Wörnitz und wechselte mit der Aufhebung des Klosters durch den Markgrafen von Ansbach im Jahre 1525 den Eigentümer. Die Ansbacher Regierung verlieh einen Teil ihrer Segnitzer Güter und damit auch das Kelterhaus am Oberen Tor anschließend dem Kloster Birkenfeld. Im 18. Jahrhundert stand das Zehnthaus im Freiherrlich-Zobelschen Lehensverband und kam nach Auflösung der alten Dorf- Herrschaftsverhältnisse 1803 in Kurfürstlich-Bayerischen, 1806 in Großherzoglich-Würzburgischen und 1814 in Königlich-Bayerischen Staatsbesitz. Privateigentum wurde das „Herrschaftliche Haus" im Jahre 1827.

(English translation:)

property originally belonged to the Abbey of Auhausen an der Wörnitz and changed hands when the monastery was abolished by the Margrave of Ansbach in 1525. The Ansbach government then lent part of their Segnitz estates and thus also the wine press house at the upper gate to the Birkenfeld monastery. In the 18th century, the tithe house was part of the Freiherr-Zobel fiefdom and, after the old village rulership was dissolved, came into electoral Bavarian ownership in 1803, in 1806 in grand ducal Würzburg ownership and in 1814 in royal Bavarian ownership. The "Manorial House" became private property in 1827.

Erected by Stadt Segnitz.
