The tower is one of the few remains of Metz's city fortifications, built between the 13th and 15th centuries. After Prussia's victory over France in 1871 and the annexation of north-eastern Lorraine to the newly founded German Empire, the latter had to give way to the wide ring road, which initially bore the name of the German Emperor and is now called Avenue Foch.

It is a cylindrically designed artillery tower built in the 15th century on the corner of the ancient fortress. Its name comes from a master bombardier - a war leader who defended the city from multiple attacks.
