The Hatzenturm is a fortified residential tower standing on a hillside above the hamlet that bears its name, within the municipality of Wolpertswende.

  • No opening hours are documented, so it is worth checking locally before visiting.
  • The main interest is the exterior and the architecture of the keep, as no information on interior visits is available.
  • The site lies off the main roads, so a car makes access easier.
