The Pyramid
a German Christmas Tower from the Ore Mountains
History
"The Pyramid" is Christmas Village's stunning highlight, introduced in 2019. Standing at 30 feet tall and adorned with 3,000 lights, the custom-made tower shines bright throughout the Inner Harbor.
Originating from the Ore Mountain region of Germany, these wooden, carousel-like towers were first crafted by skilled ornament makers. Initially, they were small and used indoors, but they grew in size with the popularity of German Christmas markets. Today, life-sized pyramids often house Glühwein (mulled wine) stands and serve as central meeting points at the holiday markets.
In Baltimore, our custom-made Pyramid, crafted near Karlsruhe, Germany, serves the largest variety of mulled wines, imported from the renowned Gerstacker winery in Nuremberg. Enjoy a selection of four mulled wines at the heart of our Christmas Village.
