Spanischer Turm, Observation tower in Rosenhöhe Park, Darmstadt, Germany
The Spanischer Turm stands prominently at the western edge of Oberfeld, featuring a viewing platform that overlooks the surrounding landscape of Darmstadt.
Constructed between 1853 and 1854 for Prince Karl of Hesse-Darmstadt, the tower initially served as a viewing platform and tea house for Grand Duke Ludwig III.
The structure represents a significant element of Darmstadt's architectural heritage, now enhanced by a sculpture park on its 5,500-square-meter grounds.
The tower welcomes visitors during regular hours, offering perspectives of the city from its observation deck, with current access details available through local tourism offices.
After standing empty for several decades, the BS Cultural Foundation acquired the tower in 2020 through hereditary lease and initiated its restoration.
