Griffin tower

The structure with a tin roof reaches 11 meters in height. Particularly noteworthy for an uninitiated tourist is the presence of numbers on each brick - this is a gift from the artist Alexey Kostroma, who once installed a monument in the form of a huge egg on the top of the tower . According to the myth, pharmacist Wilhelm Poel used to live here, who raised griffins in the chimney of his house. Now, on a full moon, these invisible mythical animals flock to their nest.

Tourists and lovers of riddles are told that mythical creatures were needed by the pharmacist to protect the secrets of their skills. And in the tower itself was Pell's laboratory, where he worked on converting mercury into gold.

Those who want to make a wish will have to count all the numbers written on the tower. However, it will not be possible to get closer to the tower and count the bricks so that all wishes come true (as the legend says). Since 2010, the entrance to the courtyard where the attraction is located has been closed by an iron gate, on which an impregnable castle hangs. And then everything was painted over with paint...
