Stadtturm, Medieval watchtower in Weimar, Germany

The Stadtturm is a medieval structure with a square base and thick stone walls that rises to about 40 meters above the ground. It contains multiple levels and an observation platform that offers views across the old town.

The tower was built in the 13th century as part of the city's defensive walls, serving guards who watched for threats. It has been maintained throughout the centuries and stands intact today.

The tower serves as a landmark that shapes how visitors navigate the old town. Local residents and tourists alike use it as a visual reference point when walking through the historic streets.

You can visit during daylight hours and climb the stairs to reach the higher levels and enjoy the city views. Comfortable shoes are recommended as the interior passages are narrow and can be steep.

The interior contains original wooden beams and stone staircases from medieval times that remain mostly unchanged. These details offer a glimpse into how people lived and worked in such structures centuries ago.
