The Gerbernus Chapel is only a few meters away from the tower.

"Already during ancient times, the Romans built a watchtower on the Balberg in Sonsbeck Switzerland to secure the military road between Vetera (near today's Xanten) and Blerick (Venlo - Netherlands). Later this became a defensive and residential castle for the Klevian counts and Dukes; to this day, however, only the round tower built in 1417 exists, which is called the “Roman Tower” in reference to its prehistory.

The “Roman Tower” is a brick building from the beginning of the 15th century and was the mill tower of the state-owned mill, which was already occupied in 1319. The mill was still in operation in 1836."
