Beginenturm and City Wall

Built in 1357, it is the oldest preserved building in the state capital, whose old facade is reminiscent of the former city wall, to which the Beguine Tower belonged as a defensive tower. In the course of time the Beguine Tower was sometimes a warehouse, sometimes a prison and most recently from 1972 to 2007 also a pub before it came under the care of the Historical Museum and was reopened as an exhibition space in 2014 after extensive renovation.
