Sternkiekerturm, Medieval fortified tower in Quedlinburg, Germany

The Sternkiekerturm rises 42 meters above Quedlinburg, featuring thick stone walls and multiple observation levels connected by internal staircases.

Built during medieval times, this defensive structure served as part of Quedlinburg's fortification system, protecting the town from potential invasions.

The tower stands as a testament to medieval German military architecture and remains an essential component of Quedlinburg's UNESCO World Heritage status.

Access to the tower requires payment through a steel turnstile and is only possible during daylight hours through the grounds of an adjacent hotel.

The tower provides a complete panoramic view of Quedlinburg's protected historical district, including the castle, collegiate church, and St. Mathilde's Church.
