    The ruins Ortenstein (Italian Rovina Ortenstein) is located above the spa town of Merano in South Tyrol (Italy) and today consists only of the keep of the castle, the Powder Tower.

    The tower has a height of 12 meters, inside is a steel structure with stairs. From the castle itself, very little information is handed down, since it was destroyed early.

    An old keep, in which a modern staircase was mounted to use this as a viewing platform. A location, just above the parish church on a sublime rock.

    The Powder Tower is rightly considered one of the most popular sights of Merano!
