    One of the 11 medieval field watchtowers in the city of Quedlinburg. The field watchtowers were built around 1300 to guard the Quedlinburg fields, an old military road and the road to Magdeburg, both of which passed close to the watchtower.

    former round tower made of sandstone blocks of the Leth tower type

    outer diameter approx. 5.30 m

    wall thickness approx. 1.20 m at the bottom and approx. 1 m at the top of the wall

    current height approx. 14 m, previous height probably 16 - 18 m

    entrance at a height of 7 m on the side facing the city, the abutment for the archway was found during renovation work in 2018.

    on the inside there are remains of a dome at a height of approx. 10 m

    there was a direct line of sight to the tower keeper's room on the south tower of the market church. Source: wartenverein.de description-der-feldwarten/ilenstedter-warte/

      Right on the street, renovated in 2018, "half" Ilenstedter Warte.

        Looks strange, such a half-shell as a tower by the roadside.
