Construction of the tower began in 1510.
The Fat Margaret Tower served as a gun tower to protect Reval from attacks from the nearby Baltic Sea.
The tower's external dimensions were approximately five meters thick and its diameter was approximately 24 meters.
It is approximately 20 meters high.
After several reconstructions, the tower was used as an arsenal. For 12 years, it served as a prison until it burned down.
In 1965, the Maritime Museum reopened in an adjoining building of the tower.
