The Wedemhoveturm was built in the 15th century and is about 15 meters high with a diameter of 6 meters. In 1908, a stair tower was added to facilitate access. Today, the Wedemhoveturm is a popular destination for walkers and nature lovers. Since the 1980s, the nature and bird protection association Kreis Borken e.V. has been using the tower. The association uses the tower not only as a meeting place but also as a platform for environmental education and nature observation.

The Wedemhoveturm is popularly known as the artist's tower. It is 15 meters high and easy to recognize by its conical roof. Today small art exhibitions are shown in the tower and the meeting place of the nature and bird protection association is located in it.
