This is a former prison tower that today serves as a popular attraction for hikers and history enthusiasts. The structure is closely linked to the history of the city and the Frundsbergfest, which takes place annually in the old town. The tower offers insights into the judicial and prison history of the Allgäu region and is part of Mindelheim's cultural identity.

The Herrgottsruhkapelle in Mindelheim am Katharinenberg was built in 1718 by Johann Hörmele. Previously, there was a wayside shrine with a Herrgottsruh figure at this spot. The chapel has already been renovated several times, in 1850 and between 1954 and 1957. Inside, there are frescoes by Georg Schwank from 1957, which continue the original paintings from 1718, as well as a wooden altar from the mid-18th century with the figure of the Savior at Rest.
