Adlerturm

The Adlerturm - part of the medieval town wall, rebuilt the way it was centuries ago.
Except that nobody knows what it did look like originally. The foundations are there in the ground and they ARE genuine, but all the rest was built from two medieval drawings that are both less than an inch big and don't even agree on details, like number of windows etc.
The whole thing is about as genuine as Cinderella's castle in Disneyworld.

Unique Suggestions: keep your eyes closed.

Fun Alternatives: try one of Dortmund's churches. They at least are genuine. My tip is the Marienkirch right in the city centre.
