    The Wierturm is not part of the old castle fortifications and was only erected in 1884 as a memorial to Jan Wier, a doctor and opponent of the witch hunt, using stones from the castle. The fountain was rediscovered during renovation work in 1934. The Tecklenburger open-air theater takes place in the castle ruins every year.

      The Wier Tower on the castle hill was erected in 1884 in memory of the physician and opponent of witch hunts, Johann Weyer (also Wier, * between February 24, 1515 and February 24, 1516 in Grave an der Maas, in northern Brabant; † February 24, 1588 in Tecklenburg).
