Triva Redoubt, Fortified tower in Ingolstadt, Germany
Description
Triva Redoubt is an oval-shaped military fortification within the Ingolstadt Fortress complex, designed by architect Leo von Klenze. The structure was originally conceived as a standalone defensive installation and now functions as a distinct building within the city's larger fortification system.
