Weißer Turm, Medieval tower in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, Germany.
The cylindrical White Tower stands 48 meters tall with a white plastered exterior and red decorative elements around its windows and cornices.
Built between 1355 and 1370, the tower served as a defensive keep of Hohenberg Castle before its transformation into a landgrave palace in 1680.
The tower houses a golden sphere containing historical documents of the Hessen-Homburg family and features the landgrave coat of arms from 1630.
Visitors can climb 174 steps to reach the observation platform, which opens Tuesday through Sunday from March to October, 10:00 to 17:00.
The tower's upper section, known as the butterfass design, measures 5.95 meters in diameter and includes ten window frames converted from former battlements.
