The tower was built in 1476 from the remains of the old ducal castle. He served the outer city fortifications. The name is probably derived from the living quarters of the scissor grinders or from its origin, the grinding of the old castle. In 1931 the war memorial was placed in the tower.

Built in 1476, today a memorial for those who fell in the two world wars. Pizzeria TORRE just around the corner.

The tower was built in 1476 from the remains of the old ducal castle. It served as the outer fortification of the city. The name is probably derived from the residential area of the knife grinders or from its origin, the grinding of the old castle. In 1931, the war memorial was housed in the tower.
