Spitzer Turm

The ‘Spitzer Turm’ (36.5 metres high) was built in the 13th century as a watchtower and keep. It also served as a prison for ‘drunkards’ and ‘scolding wenches’. Today, it is a venue for some spectacular guided tours, Copyright: Spessart-Mainland / TOURISMUS REGION WERTHEIM GmbH / Holger Leue
