Seelturm, Medieval defense tower in Ulm, Germany
The Seelturm stands as a stone tower constructed with precision-cut blocks, reflecting the architectural methods of medieval construction in southern Germany.
Originally built as the Zundeltor, this tower served as a storage facility for powder and tinder before being transformed into a water reservoir in 1870.
The structure earned its name from the neighboring Seelhaus, marking its connection to the local community and urban development of Ulm.
Visitors can find the Seelturm at Seelengraben 53 in Ulm, with tours available through advance registration at SWU Energie GmbH.
The tower functioned as part of an advanced water supply system from 1340, using waterwheels to transport water from the city moat to public wells.
