    In the planned demolition of a dilapidated half-timbered house in 1985, it was a small sensation to discover an ancient tower, the medieval tower tower, dating from around 1250. And: It was surprisingly well preserved, after all, the building had protected it over the centuries against harmful environmental influences. Source: heimatverein-wandersleben.de/wohnturm

    So often no longer to be found: the smallest form of a castle - a residential tower. Like the entire area, this one here has been lovingly restored by the Heimatverein Wandersleben. Thanks to their members! A small donation from the hiker, who can take a very pleasant rest here, shouldn't be too much for us😉

    The Counts of Gleichenrichteten deployed followers on so-called free courts (free of taxes) in their dominion, e.g. B. here this residential tower. €r is the smallest form of a castle with a passive defense and an associated courtyard as it was in the 12th-14th centuries. Century were widespread in rural areas in Central Europe. The strong masonry, the high entrance and the narrow window openings, which could be closed with bolts in case of danger, formed a safe retreat for the residents.
    The residential tower in Wandersleben is often open on Sundays during the warmer season.
