The tower was built between the 14th and 15th centuries as an observation tower. The entrance is far above ground and could only be climbed with a ladder. On the upper floor, a heated room served as an apartment for the tower guard.

Small tower about 25m high, similar to the control room towers in the Harz Mountains, the entrance can be reached on a metal staircase

Well, the view is rather modest but it's great that it's still open.
