The copper or stork's nest tower:
The first structure from the 13th century did not have a gate.
With some visible bullet marks from earlier sieges.
The nest on the tower roof was inhabited until the 20th century

Well-preserved contemporary witness. Its slim side view leaves the viewer open-mouthed and amazed. Specifically, its wood-like tower structure.
