Sobre

Fatos rápidos: The octagonal tower features vibrant red bricks that stand out along the Drava river. Its thick walls once guarded the city's medieval defenses and now offer panoramic views from the top.

Destaques: Inside, the machine hall still houses giant water-lifting wheels powered by the river current, a unique sight rarely seen in modern urban settings. The tower’s location by the lively riverside allows visitors to witness the blend of nature and history up close.
