Stratemakerstoren, Military tower museum on Waalkade, Nijmegen, Netherlands.
The Stratemakerstoren features a semicircular structure with gun emplacements, standing prominently along the Waal River at coordinates 51.84877, 5.86979.
Built in 1526 as a defensive bastion to protect the Veerpoort gate, the tower remained hidden beneath residential houses from 1789 until its rediscovery in 1987.
The museum displayed archaeological findings and historical artifacts that documented the development of Nijmegen as a fortified settlement through the centuries.
The Stratemakerstoren closed in April 2015 for reconstruction and reopened in 2018 as De Bastei, a center dedicated to nature and cultural history.
The subterranean passages within the tower, originally designed to house cannons, remained intact despite centuries of flooding from the adjacent Waal River.
