The Reck or Hunger Tower is essentially a late antique horseshoe tower that was remodeled in the Middle Ages. After investigations into the foundations of the tower, Roman-era building material was found. Today, the Hunger Tower houses the Traismauer City Museum (formerly the Local History Museum).

The names "Hunger Tower" and "Reck Tower" indicate that the building was used as a prison in the Middle Ages and modern times. Since the 18th century, the Horseshoe Tower has been used as a residence and workshop.
