Schöppenstedter Turm, Medieval tower in Brunswick, Germany.
The Schöppenstedter Turm stands as a two-story half-timbered structure with a high natural stone base and features a half-hipped roof with left-curved covering.
Built around 1400, the tower belonged to the Braunschweiger Landwehr defensive system, positioned five kilometers outside Brunswick's city walls to secure fortified passages.
The building displays a symmetrical seven-axis facade with a central entrance marked by a stone tablet showing the rising Brunswick lion from 1664.
The structure combines residential and commercial spaces within its architectural framework, featuring a three-story staircase tower on its southern side.
The tower underwent multiple destructions during various sieges of Brunswick and was rebuilt in 1802, maintaining elements of its original defensive architecture.
