The **Lower Town Tower** is open to **visitors** and can be climbed up to the viewing platform in the bell tower. Visitors can enjoy a view over the entire Alpine foothills. During the ascent, display boards on the mezzanine floors provide information about the history of the town, Emperor Maximilian and the Peasants' Wars. A model shows a historical view of the town of Vöcklabruck. Our recommendation: A guided tour of Vöcklabruck combined with a visit to the Lower Town Tower.
