Intro

지투름(Zytturm)은 축(Zug)의 명물인 52m 높이의 탑으로, 마을 지붕 위로 우뚝 솟아나 있다. 탑의 아랫부분은 마을에서 가장 오래된 성곽을 통과하는 통로로 만들어졌다. 바바리아(Bavaria) 출신의 한스 펠더(Hans Felder snr.)가 세운 시계탑으로, 1478-1480 사이에 지어졌다. 한스 펠더는 오스발트 교회(St. Oswald's Church)를 세운 인물이다.

In 1557 the church assumed its present form, with the guardroom, the bay windows and the steep roof. Over the centuries, the tower fulfilled several functions. It provided a secure access to the city that was locked every night and also served as a prison and as a watchtower to detect fires at an early stage. Since 1480 it was possible to see what «Zyt» (time) it was. The large clock was installed in 1574.

Of particular interest today is the astronomical clock. The four hands, with the sun, moon, arrow and S, indicate the month, the phase of the moon, the day of the week, and the leap year. Fastest of all is the week hand. Every day it passes over one of the seven deities from whom the names of the days have been derived.
