Townhouse tower in Münster, Gothic tower in Münster, Germany
The Townhouse Tower rises above the cityscape with its pointed arches, decorative stonework, and medieval architectural elements that define its Gothic character.
During the Peace of Westphalia negotiations in 1648, the tower stood as a silent witness to diplomatic meetings that concluded the Thirty Years War.
The tower represents the municipal governance traditions of Münster through its position in the town hall complex and its enduring administrative functions.
The tower permits access between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with guided tours available in German and English that explain its architectural and historical elements.
The structure integrates both defensive and administrative architectural features, reflecting its dual purpose in medieval urban governance.
