Wilhelms-Tower, Observation tower in Wölpinghausen, Germany.
The sandstone tower rises 25 meters above the Wölpinghauser Berg, offering views toward Porta Westfalica and the Schaumburger countryside.
Prince Georg zu Schaumburg-Lippe commissioned the tower's construction between 1846 and 1848 as a land surveying structure and employment project.
The tower stands along the Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale Route, connecting visitors to the story of Rapunzel through regional folklore.
Visitors can climb 106 steps to the observation platform on Sundays and holidays from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM for an entrance fee of 1 Euro.
The structure bears the name of Count Wilhelm zu Schaumburg-Lippe, who lived in a house called Bergleben that previously occupied this location.
