    This two-story structure stands 32 feet tall and resembles something out of medieval times. Built in 1875 by a reclusive French refugee who fled France after the Franco-Prussian War, it still features an air of mystery today. The tower's owner vanished in 1883 when he returned to Paris, leaving behind a captivating enigma.
