The Schmalzturm, also known as the beautiful tower, is a building of the first city wall of Landsberg am Lech, which rises at the highest point of the main square, which leans diagonally to the west and was probably built as the first eastern city gate of the core city in the 13th century. As an ornament, cloverleaf friezes run around the tower; colorful roof tiles, in the city colors, and a storm bell attachment express the importance of the gate. It was given the nickname "Lard Tower" because on nice days the market women stood in the shade of the gate with their goods, including lard. The lard remained firmer and could be sold more easily.
