The building with a pentagonal floor plan was set on fire in 1415. The citizens bought the ruins and had the tower rebuilt from 1541 to 1543. The ground floor formerly housed a spacious vaulted cellar and impressed with its excellent fireplace with richly decorated hood. The upper floors are accessed by a spiral staircase. The first contains a large paneled room, the second a room with a coffered ceiling and Renaissance paneling (17th century).
