    The Owl Tower was built as a watchtower on the former city wall in the 14th century. Later it received its roof. Even today you can still see parts of the old city wall everywhere in Hessich Lichtenau.
    Today the Eulenturm (as station 4) is integrated into the short but worth seeing Frau Holle circular route.

      The Eulenturm was part of the city wall of Hessisch-Lichtenau as a watchtower.
      It is located directly at Junkershof, the former seat of the Lords of Meysebug.

      The medieval city wall has been almost completely preserved to this day. The structure wraps like a ring around the historic old town with its numerous winding streets and old buildings.
