Graft Bastion in Brașov, Military bastion at northwestern fortifications, Brașov, Romania.
The rectangular structure contains walls four meters thick with wooden shooting apertures positioned across two levels for defensive operations.
Between 1515 and 1521, builders constructed this fortification to connect the White Tower with the main fortress through a strategic passage.
The saddlers guild maintained and defended this fortification, demonstrating the involvement of craft organizations in medieval city protection.
Visitors can explore medieval weapons and armor exhibits at the Brașov County History Museum located inside the renovated structure.
Three stone arches were built in 1822 to support the bastion after floods damaged its foundations, with one arch remaining visible today.
