Behind the town church of St. Mary, the tower from 1750, in which Abbot Benedikt Rischer created a place of retreat.

Initially as a "roundel", a semicircular tower open to the city, integrated into the inner wall of the city fortifications as a defensive structure, Abbot Benedikt Rischer created a refuge here in 1750 and thus a recently rediscovered gem. For this reason, the vernacular gave this "garden house" the name Prelate's Tower.

The Prelate's Tower in the monastery garden of Gengenbach can actually only be visited by appointment. It is integrated into the remains of the still preserved city wall and is a place of peace which Abbot Benedikt Rischer "approved" for himself around 1750. Stones from the Kinzig river are used in the walls.
