Spanish Wall & Catholic Belltower
Spanish Wall / Catholic Belltower
Colonial-era relics in Kolonia: the remnant wall of a Spanish fort built in 1887 and the belltower of a German-era Catholic church from 1909.
The Spanish Wall is the remnant of Fort Colonia, built by Spanish colonizers in 1887; the city later took its name from it. Nearby, the Catholic belltower is the only surviving part of a church from the German period (1909). It survived the bombing of World War II and still stands today. Both sites are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Located in downtown Kolonia, about 100 meters apart, they are free to visit and easy to combine with a stroll along Capelle Road, the main street.
