Steinholzwarte, Observation tower in Quedlinburg, Germany.
The Steinholzwarte reaches a height of 11.3 meters and features a square base measuring 4.15 meters on each side, constructed entirely of sandstone blocks.
Built during the 14th and 15th centuries, this tower maintained two permanent watchmen until 1560, who monitored the northwestern border of the agricultural fields.
The tower represents a part of Quedlinburg's network of field watchtowers and defensive structures, demonstrating medieval surveillance and protection methods.
The entrance, originally positioned 7.20 meters high, was relocated to the tower's base during renovations in the 1890s to improve accessibility.
Dense tree growth currently surrounds the tower, limiting the viewing capabilities that were essential to its original function as a surveillance point.
