Sachsenhäuser Warte, Medieval watchtower in Sachsenhausen district, Frankfurt, Germany
The stone tower stands at the highest point along the southern road, featuring thick walls and distinctive architectural elements from the 15th century.
Originally constructed in 1414, the tower was destroyed in 1416 by Archbishop Werner von Falkenstein and rebuilt in 1470 with Emperor Friedrich III's protection.
The structure represents one of five preserved watchtowers from Frankfurt's medieval defense system, now functioning as a restaurant within its historical walls.
Located at Darmstädter Landstraße 279, the establishment provides 150 parking spaces and maintains regular service hours until 1:00 AM daily.
The tower's interior houses a working bakery that produces fresh bread and pastries for restaurant patrons while maintaining its original defensive architecture.
