Wijnhuistoren

In the heart of the medieval center of the Hanseatic city of Zutphen is the Wijnhuis, which already had a turret in the 15th century. In addition to an inn, it was also a city car. Traders were obliged to have their products weighed before offering them on the market. Coins as well as merchandise and wine were weighed. It also functioned as a residence for the city guard and was the place where the city council issued public announcements. In 1420 the city became the owner of the property.
