Mehlsack, Stone watchtower in Ravensburg, Germany.
The Mehlsack tower stands 51 meters high at the southeastern edge of Ravensburg's old town, featuring a round shape and white plaster finish.
Built in 1425, the Mehlsack tower formed part of Ravensburg's defense system, monitoring the Veitsburg grounds controlled by political opponents until the 1600s.
The name Mehlsack, meaning flour sack in German, connects to the tower's past role in grain storage during Ravensburg's medieval trading period.
Visitors can climb the tower using the staircase from Marktstrasse near the Rutenbrunnen fountain to reach the observation platform for city views.
During clear weather conditions, the tower platform provides views extending to Lake Constance and the Alps, spanning across multiple national borders.
