Round tower built in 1495 and 25 m high. The tower has 5 floors, 2 of which are used as dungeons. The original entrance was at a height of 3.5 m and could only be reached by a ladder. Women and men accused of witchcraft were incarcerated in the tower. Until the 18th century, the house of the executioner from Prenzlau was located next to the tower.

The 25 m high tower was subsequently added to the city wall in 1494. Its original entrance is 3.50 m high and could only be reached via a ladder. In the last century, a second entrance was subsequently broken in on the field side, which leads directly into the dungeon. In the Middle Ages, women and men suspected of witchcraft were held captive here.
