The Lüchower Amtsturm is the last remnant of the former Lüchow Castle, which fell victim to the great city fire of 1811. The tower was built as a retirement home for the ducal widows. Later it served as the seat of the Lüchower bailiff.

Strategically located on a small sandy island in a loop of the Jeetzel river, the Slavs built a rampart here in the 11th century, which was later supplemented with a castle. Around 1470, a palace complex, which also included the "Amtsturm", was built at this point.

Lüchow Castle was a castle complex in Lüchow in Lower Saxony, of which only the official tower remains as a former defense tower. The castle was built at the end of the 14th century on the site of a Slavic rampart and a later castle. In the devastating city fire of 1811, the remains of the already dilapidated castle were destroyed. Only the official tower, which is now a listed building, has been preserved.
Remains of the castle, which burned down in 1811, are the approximately 22 meter high official tower and the foundation walls of castle buildings. The round, five-storey office tower stands on a basement made of field stones and above it is made of brick walls up to 3.5 meters thick. The round shape and the narrow tower tower are unusual for northern Germany. Originally the tower top was 12 meters high, of which only the approach is left today, and was covered by a five-meter-high roof dome. The tower shape is a so-called butter barrel tower, which was widespread in the Rhenish and Hessian areas in the 14th and 15th centuries. There are similar towers in Bad Godesberg, Bad Kreuznach, Felsberg (Felsburg), Friedberg and Cologne, among others. It is believed that the builder Anna von Nassau-Dillenburg brought this tower shape with her from her home in the Rhineland.
