Glockenturm Schwäbisch Gmünd, Medieval bell tower in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany.
The Glockenturm stands 36 meters tall with a pyramid roof and features sound arcades visible from two sides of the structure.
Built around 1228 as a Romanesque residential house, the structure was converted into a bell tower between 1490 and 1505 following the collapse of Münster towers.
The tower houses four historical bells, including the Liebfrauenglocke and Marienglocke, each representing different periods of German bell crafting techniques.
The ground floor functions as an exhibition and event space managed by the city administration, offering visitors access to cultural programming throughout the year.
Timber analysis revealed that some beams in the structure date back to 1143, making them among the oldest wooden elements in Schwäbisch Gmünd.
