The oldest tower in the ring wall dating back to the 12th century. Once a defense tower in a small castle overlooking the then harbor - now Almedalen, an arena for politicians, corporate events, a fair or congress. During the 18th century, gunpowder was stored in the tower, where crossbowmen stood and defended the city against the ships that threatened the harbor. Today, our event agency offers you the opportunity to take the stairs up to the first plateau and build relationships with unbeatable views of Almedalen.
