The 26 m high tower is 387 m above sea level and 133 m above the city center. It was completed in 1892 and is a round tower modeled on a Rhenish castle and part of the contemporary wave of creating striking landscape points in the course of the tourist development of the low mountain ranges. The tower with a crenellated cross above a high quarry stone base on an eight-sided ground plan was erected on the intercession of the later mayor Dr. Rentzing. On 25.06.2007, it was entered in the list of monuments of the town of Marsberg.
You have an excellent view from the top of the tower, which is open in the summer months.
