Bilsteinturm, Observation tower in Marsberg, Germany.
The 26-meter-tall Bilsteinturm stands on an octagonal stone base with a circular tower design, crowned by a crenelated top at 387 meters above sea level.
Construction of the Bilsteinturm took place between 1880 and 1892, initiated by Dr. Rentzing, who later became the mayor of Marsberg.
During the advent season, the tower transforms into an oversized red candle through special illumination, creating a local winter tradition.
Visitors can reach the observation platform via an 84-step spiral staircase, offering views in all directions over Niedermarsberg and the Sauerland region.
The tower features decorative four-arch ruins constructed on its valley side, designed to enhance the architectural appearance of the structure.
