Waldnerturm, Stone observation tower in Hemsbach, Germany
The Waldnerturm rises 10.1 meters high with granite stone walls and features sandstone-framed windows offering views of the Rhine Valley and Odenwald.
Count Theodor Waldner von Freundstein initiated the tower's construction in 1837 after purchasing the Schafhof estate, creating a gathering place for noble hunting parties.
The tower displays four stone knight figures at its upper corners, reflecting the medieval architectural heritage of the Baden-Württemberg region.
The structure contains two vaulted levels connected by granite stairs, with a metal staircase leading to the observation platform at 7.6 meters.
The tower stands within the Schafhof-Teufelsloch nature reserve, which supports rare species including the Bechstein bat and Spanish flag butterfly.
