Servant tower Lilienfeld
The servant tower Lilienfeld is located on Babenbergerstraße 3 in Dörfl in the municipality of Lilienfeld in the Lilienfeld district in Lower Austria . The former city tower is a listed building ( list entry ).
history
The gate or watchtower (servant tower) secured the bridge over the Traisen river to the opposite city in the suburb of Dörfl . The former Dörflstrasse and today's Babenbergerstrasse ran through the tower until 1789.
Since 1960 the building has been used as the Lilienfeld District Home Museum, the Mathias Zdarsky Ski Museum ( Mathias Zdarsky ), and the city archive.
architecture
The three-storey late-Gothic gate tower over a square floor plan has a shingled pyramid roof. The facade shows a wide sloping buttress and partly walled up key and slot slits. The late Gothic beveled gate walls in the east and west were replaced or supplemented in 1890. The passage is vaulted with a barrel. The simple three-storey extension with the same eaves height shows an irregular window division, partly with grids from the former holding cells.
