"The Windmill Tower, the oldest municipal mill and the only windmill in Neuss, is documented as early as 1477. It survived the great city fire of 1586, as well as the demolition of parts of the city wall and the leveling for the construction of the citadel in 1672. The lower part of the Windmill Tower, built of basalt and tuff on a trachyte base, was directly integrated into the 13th-century city wall. From the Middle Ages until the early 19th century, the tower also served as a municipal prison. In 1796, the robber Matthias Weber, known as the "Fetzer," was imprisoned here after making a spectacular escape from the tower. He and his accomplices had previously broken into the town hall and stolen parts of the city's treasure from the archives. In the mid-19th century, the mill ceased operations. The tower subsequently served as a storage room, its vault as the municipal icehouse. The Natural ice extracted from the surrounding waterways was stored and sold for cooling purposes. In connection with the construction of the municipal water main in 1881, the windmill tower was raised in brick and converted into a water tower. An elevated tank, an octagonal iron water reservoir covered with slate, ensured the necessary water pressure in the pipes. https://www.neuss.de/kultur/stadtgeschichte/neuss-historisch/windmuehlenturm

"The Blood Tower, constructed of basalt and tuff, is one of the last remaining semicircular towers of Neuss's former city fortifications. These defensive towers were inserted into the city wall at regular intervals and connected by a battlement. On the city side, this rested on arches that also served to reinforce the city wall, two of which are still preserved here. The Blood Tower may also have been used as a prison and torture chamber in the Middle Ages and early modern period. According to legend, Hester Meurer, née Jonas, was imprisoned here. She was accused of witchcraft in 1635, tortured, and ultimately executed on Christmas morning. Her trial records are fully preserved in the city archives. When the city fortifications were demolished at the beginning of the 19th century, the tower was initially preserved as a lookout point. After the Second World War, the Neuss poet and writer Karl Schorn lived and worked here for about 10 years. Since then, the tower has been renovated several times and has been used for municipal youth work since the 1980s." https://www.neuss.de/kultur/stadtgeschichte/neuss-geschichte/blutturm

"St. Quirinus Cathedral is the most historically, urbanistically, and artistically significant building in Neuss and one of the Romanesque treasures in the Rhineland. It is a three-aisled, late Romanesque, vaulted gallery basilica with a high westwork, transept, and three-apostle choir above a five-aisled crypt. The westwork, with its square central tower, is richly decorated. The octagonal crossing tower supports a Baroque dome and a statue of St. Quirinus. In the 4th century, a Christian burial ground lay here. A memorial chapel, a memoria, was built to commemorate the dead. Whether St. Quirin's Church emerged directly from this is uncertain. The first church on the present site dates back to the Carolingian period. In the 9th century, the original church was replaced by a three-aisled basilica above a three-aisled columned crypt, which was expanded by two naves in the 11th century. was expanded. The building was built by the Benedictine monastery, founded around 950. In 1179, the monastery was converted into a noble canoness convent, which erected the monumental new building at the beginning of the 13th century. Over time, the building underwent significant changes. The most significant change to its external appearance was caused by a fire caused by lightning in 1741. During the restoration up to 1747, the pointed crossing tower was replaced by a Baroque spire with a statue of St. Quirinus, and the tall west tower was replaced by a low pyramidal roof. After secularization, the monastery buildings and cloisters located on the north side of the church were demolished in 1804. The cathedral became a parish church. Repeated restorations were carried out in the 19th and 20th centuries. From 1881 to 1890, the eastern part was reconstructed with transept gables, apse galleries, and four corner towers. The corner towers and dwarf galleries were removed in the 18th century. In 1944, an aerial bomb destroyed the eastern conch. Reconstruction was completed in 1953. From 1988 to 2006, the exterior and interior of the cathedral underwent a thorough renovation and restoration.
