Stumpfer Turm Morbach, Medieval watchtower in Morbach, Germany.

The round stone tower measures 6 meters in diameter and reaches a height of 10 meters, constructed from local slate materials.

Built around 1315, the tower served as a border security structure for the State of Trier under Archbishop Balduin alongside Burg Baldenau castle.

The tower stands near the archaeological park Belginum, along the former Roman Ausonius road connecting Trier to Bingen am Rhein.

Located at the intersection of roads B50 and B327, the exterior of this deteriorating tower remains accessible for viewing throughout the year.

Local tales speak of two brothers and their conflicts at the site where a village called Sommerburg existed before the tower construction.

Location: Rhineland-Palatinate
