The Golden Tower in Regensburg's Old Town is one of the so-called patrician towers, built by wealthy families in the Middle Ages as status symbols. Constructed around 1260, the Golden Tower was only used to a limited extent as a residential tower in the 18th century. At the time, it was the tallest residential tower north of the Alps and, along with St. Peter's Cathedral and the Stone Bridge, became a landmark of Regensburg.
