Kühhornshof

The Kühhornshof features a late 14th-century residential and defense tower, incorporating elements of medieval military architecture within its sturdy stone construction.

Originally named Knoblauchshof in the 14th century, this fortified farm served as a vital component of Frankfurt's defensive network, positioned two kilometers north of the city walls.

The structure represents the medieval agricultural and defensive practices of Frankfurt, demonstrating how farming estates adapted to periods of regional conflict.

Located on Hessischer Rundfunk property, the site maintains restricted access while the tower structure stands as a testament to medieval engineering.

The tower remains the sole surviving element of what was once an extensive agricultural complex, with its original grounds now marked by the modern Bundenweg street.
