    “Ehem. City fortifications from the 14th century ... former city wall tower, so-called nun's tower, mighty, four-story round tower with a conical roof and blind arch friezes, core mid-14th century, renovated and added in 1897 and 1924 ... D-1-81-130-612"

    City of Landsberg am Lech (sights, Nonnenturm, 2023-08-14):

    “Beguines were settled in the Klösterl district in the Middle Ages. The religious women's community without religious vows looked after transients, the needy and the sick.
    The nun's tower forms the end of the southern city fortifications facing Lech. It once had an impressive height of seven floors, but today it is a beautiful residential tower with three floors.”

      The first city wall was built in the 15th century. The walls are between 80 cm and 1.4 m thick. Two kilometers of the wall still survive today.
