The west tower visible in the photos was built in 1932. The old west tower stood a few hundred meters from the new tower and became unstable, collapsed and demolished. The name of the tower, which had two predecessors in the history of the island, is based on its location on the western end of the island. The west tower is now a listed building.

This beautiful spot is highly recommended for families with children. There are animals (chickens, rabbits) and a large playground. But it's also a relaxing stop without children. The café is open from 11 a.m., and the tower can be visited between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. with a maximum of 8 people.

The youth hostel with a bistro is right next to or in the west tower. Ideal for a rest. 🚴🍕🍺☕🍰
