If you go down the Rhine river in Germany you may get the opportunity
to see the Bingen Tower, also known as the Mouse Tower. It is famous as being the place where the
Bishop of Bingen died. Here it is said
that in revenge for his despotic nature an army of mice swam across the Rhine
and over ran the tower. There they gnawed
the Bishop to death. There is more to
the folk tale, but this little tower is quite fun to visit. I am impressed that they were able to build
on that tiny island it stands on.
