The White Tower, a late Gothic fortification tower completed in 1472, stands as the last remnant of Bergen's medieval defenses. Once part of Hanau-Münzenberg's strategy to defend against Frankfurt, it narrowly avoided demolition in the 19th century. The tower reflects the historical rivalry between Frankfurt and Hanau.
