Bremen Tower, Medieval fortified tower near Old Town, Estonia
The Bremen Tower extends over four stories in a horseshoe shape, featuring two lower floors with small air vents and two upper defense platforms.
Built in the early fifteenth century, the Bremen Tower served as a prison until the seventeenth century, with cells containing iron rings on the walls.
The tower forms part of Tallinn's defensive wall system, which originally included 46 towers protecting the medieval merchant city from external threats.
Visitors can access the tower through guided tours that explain its architectural features and connection to other remaining defensive structures in Tallinn.
The tower's upper section, damaged during World War II, underwent complete restoration in 1959, preserving its medieval defensive characteristics.
