The White Tower is located on the top of the hill named Warthe. The construction has a closed semicircle plan, with the rounded part toward the hill, 18 meters high. The southern part, toward the city, has 20 meters high.
Inside this White Tower there are five levels of wood galleries, made in the past special for defenders and guardians. The upper side of the tower was provided with battlements.
