White Tower

As part of the historical city tour, every Saturday afternoon there is the opportunity to climb the White Tower and enjoy the incomparable view over the city.

The White Tower was completed in 1484 after eight years of construction as a typical watch and defence tower, with walls up to 2.80 metres thick. The White Tower is 49 metres high and 10 metres in diameter. In the early 19th century, prison cells were built into the tower so that the White Tower could also serve as a prison for members of the Black Veri gang. Today, the White Tower houses the club rooms of the Boy Scouts.
