Ernst-Agnes-Tower, Steel observation tower in Schmölln, Germany.
The Ernst-Agnes-Tower stands 30 meters tall with two observation platforms accessible through 172 steps, offering views of the surrounding region.
The tower was constructed in 1893 by Paul Sylbe's Schmöllner Maschinenfabrik for 6,000 Goldmarks to commemorate Duke Ernst I's wedding anniversary.
This monument exemplifies late 19th-century German engineering practices and illustrates the development of steel construction techniques in Thuringia.
Visitors can access the tower from May to October on Fridays between 15:00-18:00 and weekends from 09:30-12:00 and 12:30-18:00.
From the observation platforms, viewers can see up to 71 kilometers away, including views of Leipzig's Citytower and the mountains of Keilberg.
