Erding - "Schöner Turm"

"Schöner Turm" means "Beautiful Tower" - this is one of the names of the medieval "Landshuter Tor", a city gate erected in 1408 in late gothic style.

It was damaged during the Thirty Years War, the original hip roof was replaced by the current canopy roof during 1660 and 1664.

 

In case the town name Erding rings a bell:

Yes, this is the town where the Erdinger beer comes from. 🍺
