Büchelturm, Medieval defensive tower in Sankt Vith, Belgium.
The round Büchelturm tower stands on elevated ground, constructed with solid rubble stone walls and features two main openings for access.
Built in 1350 as part of Sankt Vith's fortification system with seven towers, this structure survived demolition in 1689 and bombing in 1944.
The red sandstone plaque above the entrance displays German text detailing the tower's construction date and major historical events.
Visitors can obtain keys from the Tourist Information Office at the town hall to access the tower's interior and observation platform.
The tower's barrel-vaulted floors and first-level battlement passage remain intact, offering views across the entire Sankt Vith region.
