    The Zwehrenturm, also known as the Zwehrener Turm, is a remnant of the former city fortifications of Kassel, which was demolished between 1767 and 1774. It was built in 1330 in Gothic style and served as a city gate towards Frankfurt, near the city center. Every now and then reader steels are generated from here over the city

    The Zwehrenturm was built around 1330 as a gate tower for the city fortifications.

    In 1707, it was rebuilt in the Baroque style and an observatory was set up.

    In 1779, the building became the Fridericanum Museum.
