Bastrup Tower, Medieval tower ruins near Bastrup Lake, Denmark.
The Bastrup Tower features walls measuring 6 meters in thickness, constructed with rubble stone and spanning an external diameter of 21 meters.
Built during the first half of the 1100s, the tower was likely constructed by Ebbe Skjalmsen, an uncle of Bishop Absalon, near trade routes.
The tower demonstrates Northern European medieval military architecture through its donjon design, common in defensive structures of that period.
Visitors can access the archaeological site through a dedicated parking area located 50 meters from the tower, with shelters available nearby.
Archaeological investigations in 1949 and 1962 revealed no surrounding structures, indicating the tower stood as an independent watchtower in medieval times.
