Paulinenwarte, Observation tower in Türkenschanzpark, Vienna, Austria.
The Paulinenwarte stands 23 meters tall, offering visitors a panoramic view of Vienna and the surrounding Vienna Woods from its observation platform.
Emperor Franz Joseph I inaugurated the brick structure on September 30, 1888, when it served as both a water reservoir and observation point.
The tower bears the name of Princess Pauline Metternich, who enriched the park with numerous exotic plant donations during the 19th century.
The tower opens during select weekends from April to September, with access limited to 12 visitors at once and children under 14 requiring adult supervision.
Visitors must climb 89 steps to reach the observation deck, where they can observe the botanical diversity of Türkenschanzpark and the urban landscape.
