Overview

The Eulenturm, or Owl Tower, stands as a proud remnant of Tangermünde's medieval fortifications. Constructed around 1300, it is the oldest defensive tower in the town. Originally a rectangular tower, it was expanded around 1450 with a round tower and a central structure. Over the centuries, the Eulenturm has witnessed the ebb and flow of Tangermünde's history. From its early days as a defensive structure to its current role as a historical landmark, the tower has been a silent observer of the town's evolution. Tangermünde itself boasts a rich history as a Hanseatic city and a temporary residence of the Hohenzollern electors in the 15th century, a period known as its "Golden Age". Today, the Eulenturm offers visitors a chance to step back in time and imagine life within the walls of this medieval town. While visitors can't climb the Eulenturm, its well-preserved exterior and strategic location make it a captivating point of interest. The tower is located on Lange Straße, in close proximity to other historical landmarks and the Elbe River.
