Elisenturm, Observation tower in Wuppertal, Germany
The Elisenturm stands 21 meters tall on the Hardt ridge north of the Wupper River, offering views across the surrounding landscape from its observation platform.
Built in 1838 on the foundation of a former windmill from 1812, the tower was part of textile manufacturer Engelbert Eller's country estate development project.
The structure received its name from Elisabeth Ludovika von Bayern, wife of Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia, representing the architectural style of that period.
The tower opens during summer months with good weather conditions, primarily on Sundays between 15:00 and 19:00, with guided tours available for visitors.
The dome hall within the tower functions as an exhibition space and wedding venue, featuring ornate coffered ceilings above red marbled walls.
