Kemenate Reinstädt, Medieval residential tower in Reinstädt, Germany.

The Kemenate Reinstädt stands as a five-story stone residential tower in the center of Reinstädt, measuring 250 meters above sea level.

Construction of this fortified structure began in 1408, serving as a protective tower for the noble estate and the villages of Reinstädt and Geunitz.

The term Kemenate originates from the medieval practice of building heated living spaces within stone fortifications for nobility residence.

Located 20 kilometers southwest of Jena, visitors can find this tower freely standing within a rectangular courtyard next to the village church.

The structure remains one of the few preserved early Renaissance residential towers in Thuringia, positioned strategically above the Saale valley.
