Why go

When the second fortifications were built at the end of the 14 th century, adapting city defenses to its growth in size, the towers original function became obsolete. Ownership was transferred to a private landlord, which allowed the tower to survive unharmed over the course of the centuries. For example, it survived the construction of a new dock in the 16 th century where the St. Catherine Church is now, and was transformed into a tavern for the dock workers and sailors called "In the Tower".
