    Kirberg Tower, also known as the Roman Tower,

    "The building, known as the Roman Tower until the 20th century, has nothing to do with the Romans. The name comes from the fact that the hill on which the Kirberg Tower was later built was used in ancient times by Roman soldiers to control the area between the Lahn and the Hochtaunus mountains. When the village of Weilmünster received the privilege of holding two annual fairs from Emperor Rudolf II in 1601, work began on expanding the defensive fortifications built almost 100 years earlier. The tower was built between 1601 and 1608 and is connected to a wall that encloses parts of the village. The Kirberg was flanked by two other towers a few hundred meters away. The lower gate (the "Weilpforte") of the complex is still preserved. However, the fortifications could not prevent Weilmünster from being destroyed in the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648)."

      The Kirberg Tower, located around 25 meters above the current center of Weilmünster, was built around 1600 as part of the city fortifications.
