Munich_Englischer Garten_07

The Chinesischer Turm (Chinese Tower) is a 25 metre high wooden pagoda, constructed in 1790 in the Englischer Garten in Munich.

 

On July 13 1944, the original tower burned down after heavy bombing, but a society to rebuild it was formed in 1951 and the new tower, made true to the original by consultation of detail photos and old drawings, was completed in September 1952.
