Tillyschanze, Stone observation tower in Hann. Münden, Germany
The 25-meter stone tower stands on the edge of Reinhardswald forest, offering views of the old town and three rivers meeting point.
The tower, constructed between 1881 and 1885, commemorates General Tilly's siege of Münden during the Thirty Years' War in the 17th century.
The upper chamber features a detailed relief sculpture by Gustav Eberlein depicting the defense of Münden against General Tilly's forces.
Visitors can reach the observation platform by climbing 129 steps, with access paths starting from either the Pioneer Bridge or Kasparsbaumweg.
The forest restaurant next to the tower sits on Hessian territory, while the tower itself remains within Lower Saxony's borders.
