The Bentheimer Tower in Warendorf is one of the last relics of the fortress ring built around the city around 1300.

The tower is the only one of the original 5 towers that is still preserved today. The large round defensive tower was used by the vigilante group for self-defense. Like the entire defense system, it had to be maintained and constantly improved by the townspeople. At its feet lies the old Jewish cemetery with its striking gravestones. Only external viewing possible. The tower probably owes its name to the original residents of this area, the Counts of Bentheim-Tecklenburg. These were responsible for the defense of the tower.
