The Stockturm, probably the oldest building in Nienburg, is one of the town's landmarks. The moated castle of the Counts of Hoya formed an additional fortification within the town's defensive walls and served as the permanent residence of the Counts of Hoya from 1324 onwards. After the Thirty Years' War, the castle and its outbuildings were demolished. Only the castle tower survived. It was subsequently used for military purposes, including as a prison. This was where prisoners were kept "in the Stock." In 1975, the Stockturm was restored by the Corps Hannoverania on the occasion of its 950th anniversary. Today, it is home to the Corps Hannoverania and the Rühmkorffbund (Rühmkorff League).
In the foyer of the Tourist Information Office, Lange Str. 18, there is a model of the former Counts' Castle. Only the name "Schlossplatz" (Schloss Square) next to the Stockturm (Stock Tower) still indicates the former counts' residence.
