It is one of the three surviving round towers of the former city fortifications.

The Vachas stork tower got its name quite late because of the storks nesting on its top. It was built in the 15th century and was slightly in front of the city wall and only half-heartedly connected to it. There are traces of fire on the tower, which probably come from the city fire in 1878 (it is also possible that the traces are from 1476).
The tower is now connected to modern buildings and cannot be visited.
