Because it is built on a cellar, the Marie Tower has stairs on the entrance. Next to her in the eastern wall, archways are showing the way to Saint Margaret's church.
Behind a well protected gate there's a cross shaped, cupola room. It's got only one loophole and a way to the cellar. According to assumptions Marie's Tower had been used as a chapel during the leprosy epidemic. Some even say that during the Lutheran religion it was also used as a torture chamber. The awkward looking building has a magical sight in the night illumination.
