"The round tower, 26 meters in height and built of quarry stone, used to mark the southeastern corner of the town fortifications. The entrance to the tower was located high above the parapet walk of the town wall and was only accessible by ladder. The attack side is decorated with a sandstone relief showing Johann the II of Nassau, Archbishop of Mainz, kneeling before a crucifix. Archbishop Johann completed the tower in 1411."
