    The two lower floors are dated to 1390, the 3rd and 4th floors to 1429/30. In the 16th century the tower was used as a prison. In the middle of the 19th century, an oversized picture of the local hero Romäus, a mercenary around whom numerous legends grew, was installed. The current picture was painted in 1981.
