- Trier
Just like the Franco´s Tower and Dreikönigenhaus, the Jerusalem Tower was one of the well-fortified tower houses built in Trier in the Middle Ages. Dating back some 1000 years, it is also the oldest of the three remaining tower buildings, and the oldest building in the Walderdorff Palace complex at Domfreihof Square.
But the intense renovations have meant it today no longer looks as forbidding and tower-like as its two brothers: Two of its five floors have been lost, and thus also the top merlon. The windows in turn were significantly enlarged in the 19th century. But this remodelling is perfect for the Jerusalem Tower’s present-day use as the registry office. And what kind of newlyweds would already be thinking of things like attacks and defence?
As the Jerusalem Tower is used as a registry office, sightseeing is only possible from the outside.
