Fire Tower - Hungary sights - Szecseny

This was built on the site of a wooden bell-tower to commemorate the passing of the plague.
From 1893, a fire sentry watched the surrounding districts from the two-storey building, until the new Town Hall was built in 1905, which blocked the view to the south. The third and fourth floors of the tower that can be seen today were built at that time.
The whole building, because of clay subsidence under it, is visibly leaning to the north.
