Tour de Villers, Medieval fortified tower in Centre Quarter, Belgium
The Tour de Villers features a semicircular design with a single level, open platform, and parapet with battlements on Rue de Villers street.
The tower, discovered in 1893 during a visit to E. Pieters cabaret where it served as a dance hall, belongs to Brussels first fortifications.
The structure exhibits military architecture with its central and lateral arrow slits, along with a 26-meter section of the original city wall.
Visitors can observe the tower's exterior and explore the surrounding area, which includes notable trees such as Pterocarya and White Mulberry.
The tower survived demolition in 1958 through architect J. Rombaux's intervention, leading to restoration that removed later additions and rebuilt original elements.
