Green Tower and Limp Tower

In the midst of Arnsberg's winter charm rises the fascinating Green Tower, an impressive remnant of the town's medieval fortifications. As part of the historic ramparts, it offers a glimpse into times gone by, when it once secured the north-western corner of the extended town wall. In the cold season, the Green Tower, with its unique shell construction, has a very special aura that is waiting to be discovered by history buffs and architecture fans.

Not far away is the Limpsturm, another relic from the 13th century that impressively underlines the medieval atmosphere of the town. Originally built as a defensive tower, the Limpsturm tells stories of sieges and defenses during the winter with its robust masonry. It later served as the city prison and witnessed numerous historical events. Although it is not freely accessible, it is worth taking a walk along the mountain road to enjoy its historical charm and admire the imposing silhouette of the tower, which stands out picturesquely against the wintry sky.

The Green Tower and the Limpsturm are not only monuments to times gone by, but also an attraction for anyone who wants to take a trip back in time during the cold winter months. These testimonies to medieval architecture make for a fascinating winter excursion that brings the combination of history and architecture to life in an impressive way.
