Das älteste noch erhaltene Bauwerk der Stadt und ein ehemaliger Teil der Stadtbefestigungsanlage.

Der Rote Turm wurde Ende des 12. Jahrhunderts errichtet und ist das älteste Wahrzeichen der Stadt. Seinen Namen verdankt der Turm der roten Farbe des aufgesetzten Backsteingeschosses. Im Laufe der Zeit nahm der Rote Turm verschiedene Funktionen ein: Bergfried, Teil der alten Stadtmauer, Gefängnis und Museum.

Der Rote Turm kann jeden Samstag in der Zeit von 12 - 14 Uhr besichtigt werden. (Eintritt 2,50 € p.P.; nur Barzahlung möglich)
