Unfortunately, it's been closed to visitors for a long time. The tower doesn't look as massive as the other one in the courtyard, but it should be somewhat taller. There's no viewing platform, just small windows at the top. The view would probably be limited, if one could even go up there. Hopefully, the tower will reopen someday. Then we can be sure. Even so, I think it's beautiful – every observation tower has its own architecture and history. I'm always fascinated by them.

The old boathouse on Lake Seeburg may be demolished. The Higher Administrative Court of Lüneburg (OVG) has rejected an application by the municipality of Seeburg for an interim injunction against the district of Göttingen.
