The Owl Tower, part of the fully preserved Templin city wall, built or rebuilt in the 14th century, strangely has a door high up at a height of 6 meters. From there, prisoners were lowered and forced to eke out their existence in the narrow, windowless room – absolutely gruesome! But the structure also had other functions. It served, of course, as a place of observation and also as a defense against attacks.

Thanks to the efforts of some Templin residents, the frogs were able to return to their original place on the fountain's rim on April 21, 2021. Created by Berlin stonemason Erik Lüpke, the frogs face all four cardinal directions. Each frog holds a symbol in its hands.

If it's market day during your visit to Templin, you should definitely take advantage of it. There are fantastic vendors with great products. If you like cucumbers, you'll find some here that are addictive. You can buy fish and even a fish sandwich. There's special ice cream and, in season, regional honey. And the line at the sausage stand speaks for itself. A stop at the tourist information office is always worthwhile. There's good information and a small farm shop. And, also important, there's a public restroom.
