The two square lower storeys, topped by a double indented frieze, date from the end of the 13th century. The upper storeys from the 14th century are constructed of lighter brick. The tower is subdivided in the middle by a tracery frieze, and the city face is enlivened by large-scale tracery openings. In the 1960s it was converted into a museum.  |
