Zytturm Zug

Zytturm, Kolinplatz, Zug
The 40-meter-high landmark of Zug characterizes the historic part of the city. The tower's origins go back to a shell tower from the 13th century.
Hans Felder raised it between 1478 and 1480. The tower took on its current form with the steep hipped roof and the foehn guard's room above the roofs of Zug in 1557.
Two "Timpis" (dungeons) for delinquents deserve due attention.

Originally built in the 13th century, the tower was raised to its current height of 52 metres between 1478 and 14801. The tower has served various purposes over the centuries, including as a watchtower, prison and fire alarm.Particularly noteworthy is the astronomical clock, installed in 1574. It shows not only the time, but also the phases of the moon, the day of the week and the current zodiac sign.

The 52 meter high Zytturm was originally a fire watchtower. It is in the middle of the old town. Directly behind it is the promenade at the lake.
