Vogtturm, Medieval fortified tower in Zell am See, Austria.

The Vogtturm stands 23.5 meters tall with thick walls measuring 8.6 meters on three sides and 13.5 meters on the eastern side.

The tower dates back to the High Middle Ages and served as a control point for travelers, collecting road tolls in the region.

The museum inside the Vogtturm displays archaeological findings, local customs, economic development, and works by regional artists.

Following extensive renovation in 2020, the tower reopened with updated museum facilities and enhanced security measures across four exhibition floors.

The tower houses a special exhibition dedicated to F.A. Porsche Design Studio, which has operated in Zell am See since 1974.
