    The red tower with its half-timbered hood is a great photo motif.

      At the western end of the complex is the "Red Tower" with a half-timbered hood in the late Renaissance style. Access to the "Red Tower" is via a covered walkway that can be walked on, from which three more walkways, some of which are on top of each other, are located in the wall.

          Beautiful round tower, with wonderful half-timbered art.
