Strunk Tower (Strunk Round Tower)

Highlight • Monument

The medieval Strunk round tower stands today directly behind the railway embankment on the south bank of the Wisper River. When the tower was built in 1567 (the timber used in the tower suggests a construction date from 1447/1448 onward), the railway embankment did not yet exist, and the tower served to defend the Wisper estuary and the Wisper Bridge, built in 1556.

Due to the dangerous rapids at the Binger Loch, Lorch was an important transshipment point for ships traveling up and down the Rhine. To avoid the rapids, goods were unloaded and reloaded in the Wisper estuary, which had been developed into a harbor, and transported overland via the so-called Merchants' Route from Lorch to Rüdesheim and back.

The Strunk served not only as a defensive tower, but also as a prison.
