Wijnhuistoren, Medieval tower in Zutphen, Netherlands
The Wijnhuistoren stands 40 meters high with an octagonal upper section supported by columns and decorated with sandstone ornaments at its base.
Built between 1616 and 1642, the tower replaced an earlier structure that served as an inn, city scales, and guard post since the 14th century.
The tower features a carillon of bells cast by the Hemony brothers in 1644, marking time and contributing to the musical heritage of Zutphen.
Visitors can climb the tower with guides from the local tourist office to access viewing points overlooking the historical center of Zutphen.
The structure incorporates architectural elements inspired by Hendrick de Keyser, marking a transition in Dutch Renaissance design principles.
