But the intense renovations have meant it today no longer looks as forbidding and tower-like as its two brothers: Two of its five floors have been lost, and thus also the top merlon.

PSSSST! THE INSIDER TIP:
The specialised ‘Underground Trier’ tour takes you deep down – but only figuratively. Because the tour through the mysterious cellars and fascinating excavations is one of our most popular, and may be tailored to your needs and times, and combined with a wine tasting. The Jerusalem Tower is also one of the stops on this tour: The present-day cellar, which was originally at ground level, is a key example of medieval architecture, and still boasts traces of ancient settlements under its flooring.
