Querfurt Castle has a number of striking towers: 1. The Fat Heinrich, a round tower from the 12th century without windows, fireplace or privy, is the only Romanesque tower in the castle. Its height is 27.50 meters, the bottom diameter is 14 meters and the bottom wall thickness is 4.35 meters. Its wreath of loopholes was added in the 15th century. The construction time of a building located under today's keep is dated around 1000. Source: Wikipedia

2. The lower part of the so-called Marterturm was built in the form of a residential tower at the beginning of the 13th century. In the 14th century it was enlarged. After the Thirty Years' War it was only used as a granary. (Wikipedia)
