Plauer Torturm, Medieval fortified tower in Brandenburg an der Havel, Germany.
The Plauer Torturm is a fortified tower in Brandenburg an der Havel with circular floor plans and thick stone walls. The structure displays typical medieval defense features with narrow openings designed for protection.
The tower was built in the 15th century as a key part of the city's defensive walls. It guarded an important passage through Brandenburg's fortifications.
The tower serves as a testament to medieval military engineering, demonstrating the architectural techniques used to protect German cities during the Middle Ages.
The tower is easiest to reach on foot from the city center, as it sits within a walkable area. The best time to visit is during daylight to fully appreciate the exterior features and surrounding fortifications.
The wall openings still show today how defenders once took positions and watched for approaching threats. These details offer insight into the daily reality of medieval city defense.
