Kuchlbauer Tower, Observation tower in Abensberg, Germany
The Kuchlbauer Tower stands 34 meters tall with ceramic decorations, golden spheres, and irregular windows following Hundertwasser's architectural principles of harmony with nature.
Friedensreich Hundertwasser designed the tower for the Kuchlbauer brewery, but after his death in 2000, architect Peter Pelikan completed the construction until its opening in 2010.
The tower includes a museum dedicated to Bavarian beer culture, featuring a collection of 4,200 wheat beer glasses and information about German brewing traditions.
Visitors can access the tower through guided brewery tours, which include explanations of the beer-making process and access to the observation platform overlooking Hallertau region.
The interior contains the Leonardo vault, displaying a reproduction of The Last Supper painting, combining religious art with modern architectural elements in a brewery setting.
