The semicircular bastion of Bodenwerder's historic city fortifications was built in the 13th century. With three other high fortress towers, the city wall and the arm of the Weser flowing in front of the city wall, it provided secure protection against attackers on the west side.

The semicircular bastion of the 13th-century city fortifications, along with three other tall fortress towers and the city wall, provided secure protection to the west. The course of the former city wall is marked by a projection of several meters to the west in the area of the St. Gertrude Chapel. The corner is formed by a stately bastion. It has a rectangular floor plan with a semicircular western end, which originally extended into the Weser arm flowing past it. Built of 1.40 m thick rubble stone masonry, the bastion consists of a base story with a surrounding slope and locking openings on the sides, a first floor with slit windows, and a second floor with keyhole slits.
