The Rietveldsetoren was originally a rampart tower, built around 1448. Today the tower is inhabited.

The Rietveldse Toren, also known as the Sint-Joristoren (St. George's Tower), is the only remaining rampart tower in Delft. The tower is located at the end of Oosterstraat, opposite the Rietveld. The gable stone states the year of construction as 1448, but that is only the year permission was granted to build the rampart towers. The exact construction date is unknown. It was probably in the early 16th century.
The Rietveldse Toren likely didn't experience much warfare. The east side of the city wasn't as dangerous, and moreover, warfare was waged differently soon after the 16th century. A wall or rampart with towers offered little resistance to heavy cannons.
As early as the 16th century, so soon after its construction, the tower was already being used as a residence.
