Wehrturm, Medieval fortified tower in Perchtoldsdorf, Austria.
The Wehrturm rises 60 meters into the sky, making it the tallest remaining fortified tower structure in Austria with five distinct levels.
Construction of the tower started in 1450 after a Hungarian invasion, serving as a defensive structure until its completion in 1521.
The ground floor originally contained a chapel while the third floor displays a star-vaulted ceiling, representing medieval architectural techniques.
The tower opens to visitors from May through September on Sundays and holidays between 13:00 and 18:00, housing a local history museum.
The tower contains a mechanical baroque clock from 1698 and survived ten direct impacts during the final days of World War II.
