About

At the beginning of the 15th century, the tower was part of the city's defensive fortification - Regulirsport Gate. 130 years after their establishment, they were destroyed by fire. The tower was the only element to survive. After restoration and a minor reconstruction, it housed a Mint. That is also when it got its current name. The tower's main feature is a carillon of 38 bells. It chimes every quarter-hour, and its sound carries for many miles around. Today, tourists visit the Mint Tower wanting to buy a souvenir to take home.
