    The Spießurm, also called Spieskappeler Warte or Spiess for short, is a medieval watch tower that is located in northern Hesse near the Spieskappel district of Frielendorf. It was built in the 15th century under the Hessian Landgrave Ludwig I and served as a border tower and as a meeting place for state parliaments and courts.

    Today the tower is only preserved as a ruin. The outside inspection is possible at any time, but the tower is not accessible. The tower is listed as a cultural monument.
