Prison Tower - Stockturm

The tower was originally a complex of 15th century defencive gates, part of the city fortification. The 17th century saw the Southern Gate become the House of Torture and a law court was also located here. At that time, the other gate was razed and renovated to include prison sells. This area became known as Prison Tower.
