The significance of the monument, which was formerly in the possession of the Grand Duke, has not yet been fully clarified. The ground floor of the tower was probably built towards the end of the 18th century. With the construction of two further floors, the building became a landmark that can be seen from afar and is still a particular attraction on the Rosenhöhe in Darmstadt today.

The findings indicate that the approximately five-meter-high ground floor of the tower was probably built as an artificial ruin in a first construction phase at the end of the 18th century. Intentionally unfinished, i.e. "artificial" ruins were very popular with the nobility at the end of the 18th century as an expression of romantic projections.

There is also evidence that there were noble gardens on the Rosenhöhe in Darmstadt that were equipped with these specially constructed buildings, so that one of these buildings could have been identical to the original building of the Spanish Tower.
