It was built around 1400, although it was first mentioned in 1572. The Gothic building, built of brick on a square plan, is about 15 meters high up to the attic finial. It received a Renaissance attic in the mid-16th century. The octagonal frame superstructure, topped with a cupola, dates back to 1651. When its defensive functions ceased, the tower was used as a city prison in the 17th century. Renovated in 1749 - 1843, it was thoroughly renovated in 1904 - 1905 and turned into a museum. During these works, the attic was reconstructed. After the war, the tower was restored in 1967.
