This lofty tower is open to tours, with wheelchair-friendly access points. Visitors can explore five floors: where the second and third floor has interesting exhibits and displays.

Surrounded by charming Dutch architecture, Molengracht Plaza is a beautiful attraction located in downtown Pella. This business district expanded over 100,000 square feet (9,290 Square meters), representing an authentic Dutch square. Opened in 2001-the complex is home to some of the most delightful boutiques, stores, bakeries, retail/office space, still retaining the old world charm. The highlight of Molengracht plaza is the beautifully designed Dutch canal with a working drawbridge. Visitors are often seen to spend a day relaxing in the dutch style.
