The Red Tower is the oldest and most impressive fortress tower in Freiburg. It was built in the 13th century and served as a prison until 1848. On the ground floor, the outer walls measure three meters. The view of the city from the 38 meter high tower is unique.

The city fortifications include six towers, five gates, seven city wall sections and a large bulwark.
This is one of the towers 👌🏻
