Above the roofs of the Lindau Fair: discover the Mang Tower
While the Lindau Fair transforms the island into a colorful celebration from November 6th to 10th, 2026, the historic Mang Tower opens its doors. From 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM, visitors ascend the steps of the medieval tower and experience the bustling fair, the rooftops of Lindau's old town, and Lake Constance from a special perspective.
History to touch at the harbor promenade
The approximately 35-meter-high Mang Tower was built in the 12th century as part of the medieval city wall. With its shooting holes, it once served as a watch and signal tower at the end of the city wall. The tower was previously surrounded by water and provided a strategic view of the harbor and the surroundings.
Panoramic view over the fair, old town, and Lake Constance
The ascent leads through the historic building to lofty heights. Once at the top, the view opens up to the lively fair activities, the winding rooftops of Lindau's old town, and the expanse of Lake Constance. The contrast between medieval masonry, colorful market stalls, and the autumn atmosphere of the island is particularly appealing.
A landmark of the Lindau island
With its colorful roof and distinctive yellow upper floor, the Mang Tower shapes the harbor promenade. Together with St. Peter's Church, the Thief Tower, the New Lighthouse, and the Bavarian Lion, it is one of the most impressive historical buildings in Lindau. The visit combines local history, architecture, and an intense discovery experience during one of the city's most traditional festivals.
Conclusion: Fair experience with a view
The visit to the Mang Tower offers a mood-enhancing change of perspective on the Lindau Fair. Those who wish to combine historical sights, cultural heritage, and an expansive view of Lake Constance will find a special program point on Lindau island.
