        The former brick powder tower was on the southwest corner of the city wall built around 1343 and can be seen on engravings from 1588. In 1605, Count Busquoy conquered the city for the Spaniards. The tower must have suffered so badly in the previous battles that a partial new construction became necessary in 1606.
