Guided tour with the smart woman

The wise woman Marie guides you through old Borken. She supports her husband, the Kluchtherrn, in all situations. What a Kluchtherr is and what his duties were touches on life in the town at that time. What duties, but also freedoms, did the people acquire when they were granted town privileges? The town also confidently defended itself against attacks from outside. We climb into one of five preserved defence towers to experience the strength of the old town fortifications and the amazing achievements of our ancestors.
