Blechburg, Cultural heritage tower in Radebeul, Germany.

The stone tower features an octagonal layout with granite blocks, sandstone windows, and reaches a height of approximately 17 meters.

August Traugott Hantzsch, a wine merchant, commissioned architect Woldemar Hermann to construct this Gothic-style tower in 1844.

The tower became part of Friedrich Eduard Bilz's sanatorium complex in 1895, serving as a destination point for patients and visitors.

The remaining outer walls of the watchtower stand in a forested area, with paths leading through the Oberlößnitz landscape.

In 1944, the Hitler Youth set fire to the structure, leaving only the exterior walls of the protected bay tower standing.
