Marschtorzwinger, Medieval defensive tower in Buxtehude, Germany
The circular fortification tower stands at a height of three stories with thick brick walls and a conical roof structure.
Built in the mid-16th century, the Marschtorzwinger formed part of five defensive towers protecting the corners of Buxtehude's medieval city walls.
The Marschtorzwinger functions as a cultural center where visitors can experience art exhibitions, concerts, lectures, and children's events throughout the year.
Located at Westfleth 59 in Buxtehude, the tower underwent complete restoration between 1984 and 1986 with urban development funding support.
This structure remains the sole surviving defensive tower of its type in Northern Germany, featuring a circular base measuring 9.93 meters in diameter.
