Gret-Schell Fountain
Highlight • Monument
Greth Schell Fountain: The fountain, built in 1887, is located opposite the entrance to the Chapel of Our Lady in the lower old town. The sculpture was added in 1997 and shows Mrs. Greth Schell in a crouched position, carrying her drunken husband home. The man is wearing a fool's cap and a rod.

Altstadthalle, a very beautiful building
Highlight • Historical Site
The Old Town Hall is an imposing building with a long and eventful history.
It was built in 1427/28 by the city of Zug and is still owned by them today. The ground floor of the house is hall-like and was originally used as a granary. In this large and high room, grain was delivered, transported away, bought and sold.
In 1530, the city of Zug built a larger granary on St. Oswalds Gasse. The old storage area in the lower old town became too small and was initially used as a depot for other goods. In 1892, the fishing museum was opened in the building. The museum is now located in the lakeside extension of the Old Town Hall and shows the history of fishing in the canton of Zug.

Zytturm
Highlight • Monument
Zug's 40-meter-high landmark shapes the historic part of the city. The tower's origins date back to a shell tower from the 13th century.
Hans Felder increased it from 1478 to 1480. The tower received its current form with the steep hipped roof and the small wind watcher's cubicle above the roofs of Zug in 1557.
Two "Timpis" (dungeons) for delinquents deserve due attention.
