The market tower in Bacharach is one of the most striking structures of the medieval town fortifications – it stands directly against the town wall and continues to shape the historic townscape.

The tower was one of the town's main gates and served both for defense and for controlling the flow of goods into the town.

In the 18th century, the market tower served as a prison, in the 19th century it housed the parish bell and in the 20th century a wine bar. It was restored in 1910 by the Rhenish Association for Monument Preservation and Landscape Protection. The addition of corner towers to the roof changed the shape of the tower. It remained undamaged during the Second World War. Today it is used as a private residence.

The market tower gives an impression of what it used to be like here. Such a beautiful place.
