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.
