Moltke Watchtower, Stone observation tower in Sangerhausen, Germany
The Moltke Watchtower rises 26 meters high on the Schlößchenkopf hill, providing views of the Goldene Aue and Kyffhäuser hills.
Built in 1903 and sponsored by the Sangerhausen branch of the Harz Club, the tower underwent extensive renovations in 1995 following deterioration during East German period.
The tower serves as checkpoint number 209 in the Harzer Wandernadel hiking network and hosts commemorative events honoring German resistance fighter Helmuth James von Moltke.
Visitors can access the viewing platform during weekends and public holidays throughout the warmer months of the year to observe the surrounding landscapes.
The structure stands at 310.3 meters above sea level and features traditional architectural elements constructed entirely from regional roestone materials.
