The
"wedding"
tower
is
an
important
city's
landmark,
unfortunately
not
an
impressive
one.
Frankly
speaking
I
wanted to
visit
this
place
because it
is
an
UNESCO
heritage site,
however
I
was rather disappointed.
The
tower
itself,
built
in
art
nouveau style
is
beautiful
-
the
red
brick
façade is
amazingly
contrasting
with
the
unique
roof
arches
made
out
of
copper
-
but
there
is
nothing
much
to
see
inside.
The
observatory deck
is
located
on
the
7th
floor
(accessible
by
stairs
or
elevator)
and
offers
unimpressive
views
of
Darmstadt
-
unimpressive because the
city
lacks
a
skyline
and
there
is
no
focal
point.
The
decorated
rooms
(usually
used
for
weddings)
are
blocked
by
glass
doors
therefore
not
fully
accessible.
To
be
honest,
the
most
interesting
part
of
the
tower's
interior
for
me
is
the
lobby
and
its
two
major
mosaic
decorations,
if
you
just
visit
this,
you
don't even
have
to
pay
(otherwise
the
entrance
fee
is
3
EUR).
The
surrounding of
the
tower
is
peaceful and
nice.
During
Christmas
time,
we
were
able
to
grab
a hot
mulled
wine
in
a
nearby kiosk
and
stroll
around
the
orchard
and
the
orthodox
church.
Definitely
not
the
most
spectacular
building,
but
if
you
are
in
the
area,
it's
still
nice
to
visit. Toilets
available
on
the
6th
floor.
Paid
by
card.
Visited
in
November
2022.
