Burgunderstraße defence tower

Ingelheim

Fortified tower

According to historical maps, this round and two storey fortified tower with a pointed stone cone shaped roof was to the south-east of the old defences.

This style of tower is most frequent in Ober-Ingelheim. In the 19th century they were often transformed to condominiums.
