Medieval tower, an archaeological landmark on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List, easily accessible by public transport as it is located in the old town of Bern. This tower has historical and national significance, as the original tower was built as a gateway building during the second expansion of Bern in 1256 Then in 1640 the tower was demolished and completely rebuilt. The still-existing clock tower bell was added to the tower in 1643. When the town decided to add the bell, the Thirty Years' War was still raging in Europe. So the town council chose to buy a stolen bell at a cheaper price. This tower is one of the most important landmarks that you must visit if you are in Bern!
