Rote Spitzen, Medieval tower in Altenburg, Germany.
The Rote Spitzen tower reaches toward the sky with its red brick construction, featuring pointed architectural elements characteristic of German medieval design.
Built during the medieval period, this tower formed part of a Benedictine monastery complex that served as a center of religious life until 1525.
The tower stands as a testament to medieval German architectural techniques, with its distinctive brick construction methods reflecting regional building traditions.
Visitors can access the tower grounds throughout the year, with guided tours available through the Altenburg Tourism Office at regular intervals.
The red color of the bricks, which gives the tower its name Rote Spitzen, comes from specific clay deposits found in the surrounding region.
