Annenturm, Althofen, Medieval fortified tower in Althofen, Austria.

The rectangular defense tower constructed from quarry stone features a north facade with a rectangular door frame at ground level and an arched high entrance.

Built at the end of the 13th century, the tower served as an outpost fortification for the Upper Market area of Althofen in medieval times.

The tower represents a key element in the architectural heritage of Althofen, standing among 27 protected monuments in the municipality of Carinthia.

The structure received a wooden observation deck addition in 1957, enabling visitors to view the surrounding landscape from an elevated position.

The north facade contains two distinct entrance points: a ground-level rectangular door and an elevated arched entryway on the second floor.
