The bell tower served as an official prison before the "modern" extension to the gate tower was built around 1800. In 1652, among other things, several insubordinate students from Rinteln were imprisoned here. The top of the tower, crowned by a small lantern, still has the appearance of the 17th century.

The poor prisoner hangs in the dungeon. An arrow is stuck in him. Just how much longer can he keep this up?
