This is the stately clock that towers over the river front. This antique clock clicks off the minutes of the day. You will always know the time. But Pegeluhr is unique, in that it not only tells you the time, but the current water level of the Rhine River. What an intriguing treasure! A short distance from the Pegeluhr is the St. Lambertus Basilika. The most unusual part of St. Lambertus is the winding tower. Said to have been reconstructed with wet arbors after it burnt in 1815, it stands quite twisted to this day. This tower, though quite twisted, is a well-loved landmark on the Rhine River. Though history may say it was reconstructed with wet arbors, the citizens of this city know better. A cherished story is that a bride came to the altar dressed in white, pretending to be a virgin. The tower was very much ashamed and humiliated. The tower turned to the side. The locals believe that it will straighten again when a real virgin comes to her altar. For now, the city waits, as the tower remains twisted. Another charming treasure in this unique town are all the gas lamps. Only Berlin has more gas lamps in the country of Germany.
