    The Roman Tower (also known as the "Heidenturm") in the old town of Regensburg dominates the cityscape on the Alter Kornmarkt with its massive block shape. The tower belonged to the ducal Palatinate and was connected to the ducal court to the south by a walk-in candle arch, which was removed in 1855 and reinstalled in a simple form in 1937/40.

    The former fortified tower of the Palatinate, which is 28 meters high and 14 by 14 meters in plan, has walls 4 meters thick and could have been used as a place of refuge in the Carolingian era, but also as a treasury, mint or archive.

      The defense tower dates from the 13th century and is connected to the ducal courtyard by the candle arch.

        The tower stands to the east of St. Peter's Cathedral. Ultimately, many "only" visit the cathedral.
