The Waldhornturm, one of two Staufer towers, was built around 1220.

The tower is 29 m high and its walls have a diameter of 4 m at the base of the tower. The Waldhorn Tower takes its name from the directly adjacent Waldhorn inn, on the upper floor of which the tower used to have its entrance. The current entrance in the lower of the 5 tower vaults was only created after the Second World War.
Besigheim, at the confluence of the Enz and Neckar, offers a special picture with its two castles. Two round bergfrieds from the 12th century characterize the image of the upper town, which, however, has many more sights: Half-timbered houses and wine presses, the beautiful town hall and the market fountain with the coat of arms (sign holder) offer more than just something for every taste in art and history some. Finally, in the Cyriakuskirche, the altarpiece from 1520, carved by Master Christoph von Urach, and the painted Bible for the Poor invite you to linger and souvenir.
