Mauseturn (Mouse Tower - 2010)
River Rhein, Germany
Castles have been built on this small island
since Roman times. In 970 Archbishop Hatto
II died after spending the night in the castle
and being overcome by thousands of mice.
From that time forward it was called the Mouse
Tower. The castle was destroyed by French
troops in 1689 and rebuilt by the Prussians in
1855.
