Erlkron, Tower ruin in Glücksburg, Germany
The Erlkron tower stands on a hill in the Schwenau Valley, featuring Gothic window openings and elevated platforms in its architectural design.
Built in 1900 by Heinrich Haß using handcrafted stones from the demolished Duburg ruins, the tower structure represents local architectural preservation efforts.
The tower's name potentially references the alder forests in the valley or connects to the famous Erlkönig ballad in German literature.
The site offers views over the Schwenau Valley and the Ox Islands in the Flensburg Fjord, with access available during specific cultural events.
In 2009, the landscape garden surrounding the tower hosted an exhibition of stone sculptures from Zimbabwe alongside paintings by Jürgen Zellermann.
