    Here you come along the Hansaweg, which runs from Herford via Lemgo to Hameln. The trail is highly recommended because it is so varied.

      The way is pretty overgrown. The tower can not be conquered.

        The round tower, built from rubble stones, has a high entrance, now walled up, and several loopholes.



        The remaining tower ruins are listed as historical monuments.



        The exact age is unknown. It was probably built in the second half of the 15th century as a watchtower for the Salzufler Landwehr. With the help of light and smoke signals, the city could be warned early about approaching enemies. Probably in 1632, during the Thirty Years' War, the tower was destroyed in an attack and has remained in ruins since then.
