The Huwilerturm in Zug is the smallest of the four outer city towers and has a charming history. It was built around 1524/25 and was known for a long time as the "Hof-Turm" until it was bought by a citizen named Huwiler in 1697.

One of four preserved city towers. A small part of the former city wall borders its walls. Right next to the Huwiler Tower, there is a pretty park shaded by tall trees, which invites you to play and relax.
