Stone Tower, Medieval watchtower in Dortmund, Germany.
Located near Westfalenhallen, the Stone Tower features thick brick walls with an original lower section and reconstructed upper portion measuring several stories high.
Built as part of Dortmund's military defenses, the tower controlled the trade route to Cologne and marked the border of Stadthagen fortified area in the 13th century.
The Stone Tower stands as a representation of medieval defensive architecture and forms part of North Rhine-Westphalia's protected architectural heritage monuments.
Visitors can reach the Stone Tower by taking the U-Bahn to Westfalenhallen station and walking west, with the structure visible just south of the B1 highway.
During the Soest Feud in the mid-15th century, the tower underwent reinforcement of its lower section after sustaining damage during a siege.
