    The tower remains in the city park of Leuven are a remnant of the first Romanesque city wall of the city. The wall was 2750 meters long and had 31 towers. When the Sint-Donatuspark (or city park) was constructed in the nineteenth century, this part of the ring wall was preserved as a romantic element. The tower was recently restored, which means that another part of the wall was restored to its original state.

    The first stone wall of Leuven dates from the middle of the 12th century, more specifically from the period 1156-1165.
