The clock tower, which dates back to 1265, is the only surviving part of the fortress on the Schlossberg mountain. Be sure to pay attention to the original clock face on the tower. At first there was only one hand showing the hours. Later, a minute hand was added, but it turned out to be shorter than the hour hand. Therefore, next to these "wrong clocks" there is an amazing feeling of time slowing down ...
