ネシュヴィッツ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

A city with wealthy citizens like Bautzen had to be constantly prepared for defense in the Middle Ages. Therefore, powerful city fortifications were built to deter enemy attacks. The sieges by the Hussites in 1429 and 1431 demonstrated that the existing defenses were no longer sufficient to protect the city. The municipality subsequently had the city fortifications extensively modernized and expanded well into the 16th century, with their might serving as a deterrent to enemy attacks. An outer and an inner city wall, moats, ditches, ramparts, bastions, and towers protected the city. Seven gates in the outer ring of walls secured access to the suburbs. By the early 18th century, however, the fortifications were gradually losing their military function. Furthermore, they hampered the city's architectural development and transport growth.

...to the old water art with the remains of the city wall, to the Mühlbastei, Ortenburg and Michaeliskirche, to the water tower and to the St. Petri Cathedral.

Here you can see the flood protection of the reservoir. Interesting location, also for children a place that you don't always see otherwise

Simply part of the city tour

beautiful view over the reservoir

Nice view and close to the water

Until well into modern times, the water was pumped from the Spree into the pipe system of the city of Bautzen on the mountain. In addition, the tower had defensive functions as a tower of the city fortifications. Today there is a cafe in it and there is Bautzen beer in the beer garden!

Worthwhile excursion destination, a bit crowded in summer.
