Kronenburgertoren
The 30-meter-high brick powder tower was once part of the second medieval city wall and is now the only remnant of the ramparts. It is an exceptionally well-preserved example of medieval military architecture. The monument stands in the Kronenburgerpark in Nijmegen. This eye catcher combined with greenery and water, give the city park a nice atmosphere for a walk or a picnic. The tower now houses the Grandmother's Kitchen Museum.
