If you come from the upper suburb, in which the chapel is located, you can reach the old town of Hassfurt through the upper tower. Since this is the arterial road to Bamberg, it is also known as the Bamberg Tower. According to the information, the rectangular tower was built before the year 1230 and increased several times in the years up to 1540 to a total of approx. 39 m and was formerly part of the city wall. In the meantime, the gate can only be driven out of the city, but the passage is still quite narrow.

The upper tower is also known as the witch's tower because it was the scene of witch burnings in the Middle Ages.
