Tempel von Nordoe, Heritage monument in Breitenburg, Germany.
The Tempel von Nordoe features a pyramidal structure on top of a stone base, with inscriptions on each side and a weather vane shaped like a sturgeon.
Heinrich Rantzau commissioned the construction of this monument in 1578 near Breitenburg Castle, establishing it as a symbol of friendship with the Danish king.
The inscriptions on the monument's quadrangular body commemorate the relationship between the Danish monarchy and its local representative, including a functional sundial on one face.
The monument stands approximately five meters tall on a hilltop of the Münsterdorfer Geest island, making it accessible for visitors interested in regional architecture.
Local folklore tells of a wager between Heinrich Rantzau and King Frederick II, where Rantzau gained milling rights by building a structure taller than Krempe's church in one night.
