Storchenturm Lahr, Medieval tower in Lahr/Schwarzwald, Germany.
The Storchenturm features a stone masonry construction with thick walls rising multiple stories above the town center of Lahr.
Built between 1218 and 1220 as part of a lowland castle complex, the Storchenturm served as a defensive fortification for the Geroldseck family.
Regular guided tours through the tower present information about medieval architecture and the development of fortification techniques in Baden-Württemberg.
Group tours for up to 25 people cost 60 euros, while individual visits during public tours on Saturdays cost 5 euros per person.
The tower maintains its original 13th-century architectural elements, including defensive features and structural components from the Staufer period.
