The "Jewel Heptarium" is a fictional treasure tower that could belong to a huge castle complex. Its name reflects both the use and the shape of the building, which is a heptagon (a polygon with 7 sides) when seen from above.
The lower part of the tower houses exhibits for visitors. Different window rosettes on each of the seven outer walls are shaped like gemstones.
The upper part of the building is sculpted like a diamond. Especially valuable riches are stored here, they can be transported inside via a rope on the overhanging roof. There are 3 observation platforms at the heights of 15, 43 and 50 meters. Their curved railings look similar to a crown.
The architectural design is reminiscent of Art Nouveau and partly of Neo-Gothic. Golden colored facade elements represent brass and turquoise surfaces copper patina.
