The tower was probably built before 1533, but was first mentioned in a report in 1546 as the "Lewturm". The rest of a year number ..52 indicates that structural changes were probably made to the tower again in 1522. The floor plan of the five-storey bulwark is horseshoe-shaped: the side facing the enemy is semicircular, the side facing the city is straight and pierced by windows. The Lion Tower was used as a so-called gun tower. In 1883, apartments were built into the Lion Tower to provide accommodation for the homeless.
