History
From the top of the 57 meters high tower there is a beautiful view of the town.
The tower was built in 1574 by Master Jakab. It burned down in 1683 but was reconstructed. It was used as a fire tower from 1688. Its clock was made in 1729. The bells ring in every quarter of an hour.
The Immaculata statue of Virgin Mary stands on the top of it.
