Schreierstoren
Tower of Tears
In the past this was a place where the trading sailing ships, sailed out to the Baltic, Flanders and other trading routes. During centuries, thousands of women said good-bye to their husbands and had some tears. This explains the name 'Scrayer-Houck', scrayer is a old Dutch word for crying, which is written on the wall. A disintegrated stone displays the year 1569 and a ship that sets sail.
