The bulwark and the witch's tower are the most impressive fortifications in the city at a dominant point. Four meter thick walls and 16 gun chambers on four floors. approx. 20 m high. The witch's chamber, which was the former prison, is reached through the lower weir.

Here you can explore a very impressive city fortification.

As a corner tower in connection with the witch tower, with constant visual contact to the other defense towers, this area is strategically well secured.

Great view over Büdingen's old town. The new benches with motifs invite you to take a break on the bridges!

The bulwark is probably the largest tower within the outer city wall in Büdingen. It had three floors, of which only the cornices and the roof remain. It's definitely worth taking the many steps to the top viewing point, because from there you have an excellent view over Büdingen.
