    One of the 11 medieval field watchtowers in the town of Quedlinburg. The Sewecken watchtower was probably only built after the Quedlinburgs' victory over the Regensteins in the conflict of 1336. It was used to monitor the eastern Quedlinburg fields and probably also the activities of the Regensteins in the Gersdorf castle. The watchtower was primarily used to protect the nearby limestone quarries.
    current height: 8.50 m
    almost square floor plan, side length: approx. 4 m
    only watchtower built only from small-format limestone
    this watchtower probably also had a half-timbered structure.
    due to various repair work in recent decades, the original entrance is no longer recognizable.
    there was a direct line of sight to the tower keeper's room on the south tower of the market church and to the Westdorf watchtower of the temporarily allied town of Aschersleben.
    the watchtower had been equipped with a tiled stove since 1457. In 1992/93, the heavily weathered lookout tower was renovated and converted into an observation tower. Since 2005, the Quedlinburg Watchtower Association has maintained the tower.

      One of the waiting rooms in quedlinburg with a beautiful view of the surrounding area ... There is also a special stamp from the Harz hiking pin on top 😊

        The all-round view from the small observation tower is phenomenal
