Fährenpfortenturm, Medieval defense tower in Hann. Münden, Germany
The Fährenpfortenturm rises prominently as a stone tower structure with defensive features along the historic walls of Hann. Münden's old district.
Built during medieval times, this tower functioned as a strategic observation point for monitoring river traffic and protecting the town against potential threats.
The tower represents medieval German military architecture and forms an integral part of Hann. Münden's collection of historical fortification structures.
Visitors can reach the Fährenpfortenturm through the old town district, where information panels detail the tower's construction and historical function.
The tower's position at the convergence of three rivers made it essential for controlling water traffic and collecting tolls during the Middle Ages.
