From the Black Tower, you have a wonderful view of the Old Town, the Black Church, and the Old Town Hall. The steep climb through the shady park is worth it.

The White Tower is a fortress built between 1460 and 1494, which still impresses today with its massiveness and sleek lines. The semicircular building, with its four-meter-thick walls, stands over thirty meters above the old city walls. The tower has ramparts, tar holes, and balconies supported by stone consoles. The White Tower was located 59 meters in front of the fortress wall, and a drawbridge connected it to the Graft Bastion. With its five floors, it was the highest point of the Brașov Fortress. The Tinsmiths' Guild was responsible for its defense. During the great fire of April 21, 1689, the fire, carried by a strong wind, also engulfed the White Tower, which burned down and was not renovated until 1723.

Like the Black Tower, the White Tower is one of the external fortifications of medieval Kronstadt. It stands on a ledge on Raupenberg on the north side of the inner city, from here you have a brilliant view over Kronstadt.
