With its slight incline and a height of around 16 meters, the Kuhmturm is a true landmark of Borken's town fortifications. Its special shape catches the eye from afar and sparks curiosity about the history behind it.
As part of the "Fünf Türme-Tour" (Five Towers Tour), you can experience an audio station on the ground floor of the tower, which refers to a work by Borken artist Julia Schily-Koppers. Immerse yourself in the eventful and excitingly staged history of the tower by the water!

In 1433 the Kuhmturn could have been completed with the completion of the circular wall.

A beautiful turret in Borken.
Origin of the name:
The tower name is derived from Kump. Kümpe were deep pits lined with planks, in which cattle skins were “leather-scented” over two years by adding tan.
