Kaditz Lime Tree, Natural monument in Kaditz, Dresden, Germany
The historic lime tree stands 20 meters tall in the churchyard of Emmaus Church, with a trunk circumference measuring 10 meters.
In 1818, a devastating fire caused the tree to split in two, leading to the development of an abnormal growth pattern in its structure.
The tree served as a medieval pillory, evidenced by surviving iron rings embedded in its trunk, reflecting historical social practices.
Located on a plateau above the Elbe River, this natural landmark remains protected within a 5,400-square-meter cemetery area.
The hollow interior of the trunk allowed people to gather inside, where local youth performed music during past centuries.
