The most impressive building of the Northeim fortifications is the old brewery tower with its 2.80 meter thick walls.
In the form of a three-quarter circle, it leans against the wall with its open back. It is divided into two floors separated by a thick, flat-vaulted stone and plaster ceiling. The lower room is 4.50 m high. The three surviving gun niches of the upper room are again above the bottom row. The niches of the guns can be recognized by the small square openings, while the long vertical slits were used to keep the wall dry and some also to evacuate the powder gases.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeim
