    Definitely worth a visit. You need strong legs of course as there are 225 steps and a bit of stamina. Nonetheless, definitely worth it. I took several breaks myself. The view from the top is fantastic when the weather is nice.

      Built from 1550-1577 under the direction of Italian master builders Hans Spatz and Lorenz and Vincenc Vogarelli, it was a symbol of the city's wealth. At 72.25 meters, it also served practical purposes.

        The Black Tower was built between 1549 and 1577 by Hans Spatz, Lorenc and V. Vogarelli. It served as a bell tower for the Nikolauskirche, as a watchtower and as a symbol of prosperity.
