Bierbaums Nagel, Observation tower in Willebadessen, Germany
The stone observation tower reaches a height of 13.5 meters and stands at an elevation of 431.4 meters above sea level in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Julius Bierbaum, a banker and estate owner, constructed the tower in 1849 to provide employment opportunities for the local rural population.
The tower represents regional architectural traditions and maintains its status as an architectural heritage monument in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Visitors can access the tower via a 9-kilometer hiking trail from Willebadessen Castle or through a 4-kilometer path from the Alte Eisenbahn parking area.
The tower offered Julius Bierbaum's wife views of the Herkules landmark in her hometown of Kassel, helping her cope with homesickness.
