On our way back to Munich we stopped in in Landsberg am Lech to see the Mutterturm. Perhaps the best mother’s day gift ever, the tower was built by Bavarian-born but British knighted artist Hurbert Von Herkomer. In 1884 at the height of the gothic romantic revival, he commissioned the building of a tower in honor of his mother to reflect the medieval flavor of the town. The Mother’s Tower (Muttertrum) is straight out of a Grimm’s fairytale, with its gabled roofs and beautiful stonework.
