    This ruin is a beautiful and rare example of a circular or cylindrical keep from the 13th century. It was cylindrical in shape like the keep of Zichem (the Maiden's Tower) to deflect bullets. Inside, however, such a tower is difficult to set up
    and that's why they weren't built much like this.
    The entrance was on the first floor so that in the event of an attack, the wooden
    ladder could be pulled in.
