Dating back to the 15th century, the Fangelturm (Fangel Tower) was built as a defensive tower on the city wall. Originally, the tower entrance was 6 meters high and could only be reached by ladder. The current entrance and the passageway next to the tower were only created in the 19th century. The tower roof and battlements were also reconstructed in the 19th century.
The Fangelturm, including the stone spire, is 25 meters high and has a diameter of 6.5 meters. In a dome-like vault behind the former entrance, 6 meters high, is a round opening, the so-called "Fear Hole." Below this was the prisoners' dungeon, the floor of which is about 2 meters below today's street level. Through the fear hole, the convicts could be lowered down and provided with essentials.
