    Round tower, built as part of the first city fortifications under Count Johann I (1355 - 1371).

    Was used as a dungeon in the Middle Ages.

      The most important remnant of the late medieval city fortifications and a historical landmark is the city tower at the end of Turmgasse. Later the tower functioned as a romantic addition to the palace terraces. Originally, the round tower shaft was higher, with a protruding fortified room and pointed helmet with a sentry box. Around 1800 it received its flat conical roof, which has also been renewed today.

        Nice little town. Worth a visit. If they trails had been open I would have more to report!
