It was first mentioned in 1182/83 as a commandery. Parts of the complex, dating from the late 12th and 13th centuries, have been largely preserved as part of a medieval castle belonging to the Order. According to the inventory of cultural property, it is considered a cultural asset of national importance. Today it belongs to the Canton of Lucerne. Source: Wikipedia; see also Wikipedia: History

A wonderful area on the ascent to Horben. In good weather, you can enjoy perfect views of the Alps.

The Huwilerturm in Zug is the smallest of the four outer city towers and has a charming history. It was built around 1524/25 and was known for a long time as the "Hof-Turm" until it was bought by a citizen named Huwiler in 1697.

Unfortunately, I only realized where I should have looked when I got home, but it's not the end of the world yet.

One of four preserved city towers. A small part of the former city wall borders its walls. Right next to the Huwiler Tower, there is a pretty park shaded by tall trees, which invites you to play and relax.

Huwilerturm, Zug The year the Huwilerturm was built cannot be determined precisely from documents, but according to Linus Birchler it was in 1524/25. Other sources give the year of construction as 1519 and name a master builder named Huwiler as the builder. The tower's current name does not come from this Huwiler, but from a later owner of the same name, who came into possession of the tower in 1697. The name "Huwilerturm" only gradually caught on, however, because the name "Hoof Thurm" (after the property "Hof im Dorf" or "Hof am Burgbach") can still be found on the Landtwing city map from 1770. For this section, see also the Zug New Year's Gazette 1983. Access to the Huwilerturm was originally via the battlement of the city wall on the city side on the first floor. It was not until 1826 that the tower was given a ground floor entrance - from the outside - and two windows. The outer ring of walls Six round towers, four gates and a passageway formed the new ring of walls. The total length was 850 meters and increased the size of the city from 0.4 to 2.8 hectares. In addition to the existing buildings such as St. Oswald's Church, the castle, the village residential and commercial district, etc., there were large undeveloped areas in the new city area for a long time.
