    The round tower of Andernach is a large defense tower from the 15th century and the guard tower of the city fortifications on the northwest corner of the medieval city wall. It is Andernach's landmark and one of the mightiest defensive towers of its time. (Source: Wikipedia)

      Sticks out from Andernach's skyline. The tower belongs to the old city fortifications and is nice to look at from inside and outside.

        "One of the largest medieval defense towers in Germany in the middle of Andernach - the round tower was built from 1440 to 1453 and is 56 meters high. It is considered the city's landmark and represents a stone testimony to the city's self-confidence, but it held up in the years 1689 a blasting attempt by the French. A hole on the west side of the tower still bears witness to this."
