Storage tower, city wall with battlement, Isny
A good half of the defenses from the 14th century have been preserved, the narrow battlement is still accessible today. The storage tower from the 16th century was an arms depot and served to defend the city wall.

Four-storey storage tower on the so-called Lower City Wall on the northwestern edge of the city. Solid brick and plastered fortification tower with an almost three-quarter round floor plan. At the top there is an attic level under a conical roof. On the southeast side there is an external wooden extension of the former battlement. The two lower floors were temporarily used as a prison. 16th century with more recent changes.
The impressively preserved storage tower is an important testimony to the former defensive strength and wealth of the city of Isny. To this day it documents the strength of the city fortifications that run ovally around the medieval core of the city.
