It dominates the historic town center and immediately attracted the attention of many tourists. On the tower of the Church of the Holy Spirit height of 49 meters is equipped with an observation deck.

At the beginning of the XIV century tower was built by the citizens for defensive purposes. She constantly had to be on duty soldiers. His task was to observe the surroundings, making a fuss in case of fire or the occurrence of a hostile army. Over time, priorities have changed, and the tower turned into a bell tower when erected next to it a Gothic church, consecrated in honor of the Holy Spirit.

And the tower, and the church burned several times. In the XVII century a fire destroyed not only the building itself, but the bells are installed on it. Funds for new bells at the hospital, the controlling church, was not. Then a wealthy Philistine own money purchased and installed a new powerful bell. Unfortunately, we are not able to hear the sound of it, because the bell was removed during World War II and sent to the smelter. After that, only the tower is decorated with a large clock, which, however, may herald the onset of a certain hour battle.
