Erbenheimer Warte, Medieval watchtower in Erbenheim, Germany.
The stone watchtower features a circular design with a pointed roof and defensive protrusions known as Pechnasen on its white exterior walls.
Archbishop Berthold von Henneberg ordered the construction of this defensive structure between 1492 and 1497 to protect against raiders in the region.
The watchtower belongs to the Kasteler Landwehr network, which included multiple towers forming a strategic defense system across the Mainz-Wiesbaden area.
Visits to the watchtower require advance arrangements through a local association, and the elevated entrance makes it inaccessible for wheelchair users.
The tower stands on a high plateau within Fort Biehler settlement, marking the historical boundary between Erbenheim and Mainz-Kastel territories.
