Taborturm, Fortified tower in Steyr, Austria

The Taborturm rises as a stone tower with multiple levels, featuring defensive architectural elements and a viewing terrace accessible by stairs or panoramic lift.

Built in the 15th century as part of Steyr's city fortifications, the Taborturm later transformed from a military structure into a fire watch tower.

The tower holds designation as a protected monument under Austrian heritage laws, integrating both historical preservation and modern broadcasting functions.

Visitors can access the tower's restaurant and observation deck during operating hours, with public transportation stops located near the entrance.

The structure combines its original medieval defensive architecture with modern telecommunications equipment while offering panoramic views across the entire Steyr region.
