The Goldsmiths Tower or Goldschmiedgasser was built on top of the Mill canal, which brings the water of the Mosna river from the Cold spring to the town. Built in baroque style in the XVIth century. On the top side of the tower you can clearly see the loopholes. On the South wall on a board that’s between two columns you can find out that the improvements were made in 1641 by Martin Petri and Petri Michaelis.
