Roman foundations and later expanded during the medieval period, the tower has long served as a lookout
over the surrounding region.
From the top of the tower, visitors can enjoy sweeping views across Sopron’s rooftops, nearby countryside,
and even parts of Austria on clear days. The structure itself reflects centuries of architectural development.
