    The Lost Tower is part of Wassenberg's medieval town fortifications.
    The ruins that still exist today date from 1420.
    Wassenberg had a court where robbers and murderers were often severely punished. Those sentenced to death who had lost their lives were imprisoned on the gallows hill in the lost tower before they were executed.
