Pfeifturm, Medieval watchtower in Ingolstadt, Germany
The Pfeifturm stands 63 meters tall next to Saint Moritz Church, featuring Gothic architecture with a distinctive roof dome added in 1720.
Built in the 14th century and first documented in 1497, the tower served as a lookout post where watchmen alerted the city to fires and dangers.
The Pfeifturm hosts a brass band that performs every two weeks from the tower platform and rings in the New Year with traditional musical performances.
Visitors can climb 201 steps to reach the observation platform at 45 meters, offering views extending to the Alps on clear days.
The tower's name originates from the watchman's whistle signals, a practice that continued until 1938 when electronic fire alarms were introduced.
