Burg Stolpe, Medieval tower in Angermünde, Germany.

The Stolpe Tower stands with an exterior diameter of 18 meters, making it the largest residential defensive tower structure in Germany.

Initially constructed as a Slavic fortification in the 7th century, the tower was rebuilt in 1184 under Danish King Knut VI to secure the border region.

The tower contains multiple chambers, including a vaulted hall with a ribbed dome and a central opening known as the 'fear hole'.

Visitors can climb the exterior spiral staircase to reach the upper floor and view an exhibition about the tower's history in three languages.

Local tales mention the existence of a secret escape tunnel from the tower, which remains unexplored to this day.
