Kattenturm, Warburg
Facts and practical information
The Chattenturm is part of the medieval city fortifications of the old town of Warburg, first mentioned around 1226.
The still existing city tower was named after the tribe of the Chatti, because from it you can see to Hesse. It is located at the upper end of the western city wall, which ran in a straight line up the castle hill, and served to secure it. It has a round ground plan and was probably built in the 14th century. The former conical roof no longer exists.
Since October 2016, the Chattenturm is accessible via a viewing platform.
