After Abbot Franz Schlichting had begun with the reconstruction and remodeling of the convent building of the monastery Ringelheim 1709, he had as the center of the farm yard build an octagonal pigeon tower.
The pigeons bred there should supply the monastery with the table at certain times.
In keeping with the baroque's need for jewelery, this tower was not kept simple, but, with a design inspired by the ridge turrets of the abbey church, was also provided with an octagonal Baroque dome. Inside he was provided over the entire wall height with nesting niches for the pigeons.
From 1713, the energetic and Benedictine-inspired Abbot Bernward Peumann took over the further construction of the convent building.
After the introduction of compulsory schooling in Prussia, his successor, Franziskus Freihoff, built a small school building with two classes on the Taubenturm. The inscription above the door FF R FFA 1748 indicates builder and year of construction.
Later, a ceiling was drawn into the tower and the resulting room served as a temporary prison for detained lawbreakers until the transfer to Liebenburg. During the Nazi era, the Hitler Youth met in the annex.
The tower was re-covered by the Gutsinspektor Stapel in 1952 and the extension was used as a machine house for water treatment during the time when the lung sanctuary was housed in the castle. After the purchase of the goods by Karl Leo 1968 the pigeon tower stood empty for a long time.
Since 1999 he has been restored by a circle of friends, the "AG Taubenturm", to use the building as a whole. Since 2013, the wedding room of the registry office of the city Salzgitter is housed here.
