Wassertor-Museum and its collection

The Wassertorturm, or Water Gate Tower, served as the northern main entrance to the city fortifications of the imperial city of Isny im Allgäu. This tower holds significant historical value and is listed as a cultural monument in Isny im Allgäu, thus it is protected as a monument. This makes it an interesting site for tourists who are interested in history and architecture.

The Wassertor-Museum: A Glimpse into the Past

The Wassertor-Museum, housed within the city gate, offers insights into the tower's past uses. It served as a protective structure for the city, a residence for the tower guard, and a prison for criminals. Visitors to the museum can learn about these historical functions, providing a unique perspective on the city's past.

Exhibits at the Wassertorturm

In addition to its historical significance, the Wassertorturm also houses a collection of exhibits that reflect the city's history. These include documentation about the Isny fire department, a display of a shoemaker's workshop, and an exhibition about the beginnings of winter sports. These exhibits provide a broader understanding of the city's cultural and social history.
