Rhenish Tower, Coastal tower in Lynton and Lynmouth, England.
The Rhenish Tower stands as a square structure on Lynmouth pier, featuring two balconies supported by brick machicolations near its summit.
Built around 1832 for saltwater bathing purposes, the original tower was destroyed in the 1952 Lynmouth flood and reconstructed in 1954.
The structure bears architectural similarities to towers along the River Rhine, which influenced its distinctive name and design elements.
The tower contains a water tank that previously supplied saltwater to nearby baths, allowing guests to experience therapeutic treatments indoors.
Only the fire basket from the original 19th-century structure survived the 1952 flood and was incorporated into the rebuilt tower.
