    The gray tower, also known as the Grafenturm, was first mentioned in 1414. It is located on the south-east corner of the former fence with an adjoining section of the wall on part of the battlement. The tent roof of the octagonal tower is modern. From 1600 to 1659 he served a cruel judiciary: Tower punishment, interrogation and torture of the "witches" before their execution on the "Hexenkippel" near the "Hohen Lay".
