Steintorturm, Medieval gate tower in Brandenburg an der Havel, Germany

The Steintorturm stands 32.5 meters tall with a diameter of 11 meters, featuring a conical helmet and battlements with decorative brick patterns.

Built in the first half of the 15th century, the tower served as part of the city fortification system and contained a prison in its lowest level.

The tower houses exhibits about Havel River navigation and local history as part of the City Museum of Brandenburg an der Havel.

Visitors can climb the tower between April and October through five floors connected by stairs built within the 3.5-meter-thick walls.

The Steintorturm remains the only medieval tower in Brandenburg an der Havel that included a heating system for three of its floors.
