The tower on the Leergasse represented the south-west cornerstone of the city fortifications, which were probably built from 1332 onwards. A crenellated wall runs north from the tower. It gives an idea of the appearance of the former fortification belt, which was surrounded by a deep moat about 20 m wide. Remnants of the wall can be found at three other locations in the city area.

The Eltville Rhine promenade ends at the Sebastiansturm, the preserved southwest corner tower of the former city fortifications. The statue of the city's patron saint, Saint Sebastian, is also located here.

A small fortress from the times when cities still had to be protected from the adversaries with walls and towers and gates.
