Take a tour of Mutterturm in Landsberg am Lech, Germany - part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
A fairytale-like castle stands by the shore of the river Lech in Landsberg am Lech, Germany.
Mutterturm, meaning Mother Tower, was built by a prominent German artist in the 19th century in memory of his beloved mother.
The tower stands thirty meters tall and peaks the sky with its characteristic yellow roof.
A collection of this artist’s greatest pieces of art bedeck this five-storied stone tower.
This tower and adjacent building were used as the home, parental shrine, and private work studio of its patron until the time of this death.
A bridge connects the tower to a museum that houses works of art including renowned paintings and sculptures.
