Wartturm, Stone tower in Weingarten, Germany
The Wartturm stands 13 meters tall at the intersection of historical escort roads, constructed with robust stone materials in Weingarten, Baden-Württemberg.
Built in 1589, the Wartturm served as an observation point to monitor neighboring communities and the lower Hardt region during times of regional governance.
The tower houses a local history museum featuring exhibits of original artifacts from burial mounds, Roman times, Merovingian period, and medieval collections.
The museum opens from Easter to All Saints Day on Sundays and holidays between 15:00 and 18:00, displaying historical collections and regional artifacts.
A sandstone angel relief, created by sculptor Edzard Hobbing in 1956, decorates this historical structure that now functions as a local heritage center.
