This is the oldest building in Landau. In 1732 the corner tower of the ring of walls became a prison for military convicts who were then sent to the galleys.

Former keep and the only remaining tower of the medieval city wall. From 1732, it served as a prison for military prisoners. The tower got its name because the convicts were sent from there to the galleys.
