Sinwell Tower, Cylindrical stone tower at Imperial Castle, Nuremberg, Germany.
Standing 41 meters tall, the Sinwell Tower features a cylindrical structure with a Renaissance helm roof and wooden stairs inside the building.
Built during the second half of the 13th century, the tower received an additional floor and a pavilion roof with a pointed helm in 1560.
The interior of the tower contains an exhibition displaying photographs that document the castle and city following the events of World War II.
The tower opens daily from 9 AM to 6 PM between March and October, and from 10 AM to 4 PM during winter months.
The name Sinwell originates from Middle High German, meaning perfectly round, reflecting the complete circular shape of the structure.
