    The Lukasklause is a part of the Middle Ages derived late Gothic former fortified tower in Magdeburg. Today it houses the Otto von Guericke Museum.

      The actual tower is octagonal and has a height of 21.70 m. Originally the tower had a greater height. The tower has three usable floors and a basement. The diameter is 11.42 m, the wall thickness on the ground floor is 1.42 m.

      South of the old tower is a historicizing, picturesquely designed extension from the years 1902/03. This part of the building, which also has three floors and partly features Gothic style elements, has a round brick stair tower and half-timbered galleries. There are small Art Nouveau grimaces on the stair tower.

      In the vicinity of the tower there are still old walls from former parts of Magdeburg's city fortifications. To the north and east of the tower, remains of the so-called New Works have been preserved in the form of a roundabout. Also noteworthy are the remains of a fortress railway gate from 1851.
