    Hiking

    The city fortifications have been largely preserved. A historical battlement has been reconstructed at the Romäusturm and is interesting to look at.

    The tower is located in the old town of Villingen, right by the city wall, and is part of the medieval fortification. 🏗️ It was built around 1250, making it one of the oldest towers in Villingen. It is 25 meters high and has a square floor plan.
    Its name "Romäus" goes back to Saint Roch, who was the patron saint against the plague. The tower was part of a plague cemetery nearby. Alternatively, it is also called the Michaelsturm, as it is adjacent to the Marienkapelle (St. Michael).
