Martinsturm, Fortified tower chapel in Upper Town Bregenz, Austria
The Martinsturm rises prominently with its wooden onion dome, featuring three arched arcades supported by columns and a gallery at the top level.
Initially constructed as a grain warehouse in 1250, the structure was transformed into a fortified tower between 1599 and 1601 by master builder Benedetto Prato.
The chapel section contains multiple layers of frescoes from different periods, depicting scenes from the Passion of Christ and religious figures.
Visitors can access the tower museum daily from April through October to explore exhibitions about local history and observe the surrounding landscape.
The structure holds the distinction of being the first baroque building in the Lake Constance region, featuring Central Europe's largest onion dome of its time.
