Schwedenturm
Sight / building
The Schwedenturm is located on the island of Mainau in Lake Constance in Germany. It stands on the southwest side of the island and was probably a watchtower for Mainau Castle towards the mainland. The year 1558 above the entrance door indicates the time when the Sweden Tower was built, as do the coats of arms of the Teutonic Order and Commander Georg von Gemmingen. The name !Swedish Tower! comes from the time of the Swedish occupation of the island during the Thirty Years´ War. The tower is currently not open to visitors
