Kahlenbergturm, Observation tower in Schieder-Schwalenberg, Germany.
The Kahlenbergturm rises 22.55 meters high with a square base that tapers upward, featuring twelve gothic windows and a zinc sheet conical roof.
Prince Leopold II commissioned the construction of this stone tower in 1840, selecting architect Ferdinand Wilhelm Brune to design the structure.
The tower holds status as an architectural heritage monument in North Rhine-Westphalia, representing nineteenth-century German construction techniques and design principles.
Visitors can climb 100 steps on the internal spiral staircase to reach the observation platform offering views across the Lipovian landscape.
The tower's foundation stones came from Feldrom quarry while sand materials originated from the nearby Externsteine formation.
