"The "Knife Tower" is not only a cornerstone of the third fortification ring of the castle. The tower also served as part of the water supply. In addition to a fountain that was located in the courtyard of the main castle, another fountain was created at this point The lower floor was originally windowless. Above it was a simple tower room for a well watchman. For several years the water tower has been called >.

However, this name has no martial meaning."
