The Graft Bastion (Bastionul Graft), known in German as the "Gate Bastion" because of its shape, was part of the Brașov Fortress and was built between 1515 and 1521. The Saddlers' Guild was responsible for its maintenance and defense. The bastion was intended to connect the fortress's soldiers with the White Tower, located in front of the city walls. Access to the tower was provided by a bridge leading up the slope to its entrance. A severe flood on August 24, 1809, severely weakened the outer enclosure wall, so in 1822 it was given three supporting arches over the stream. In the 20th century, the wall was breached, and two of the arches and part of the wall disappeared. Today, the bastion houses a section of the Historical Museum. The path to the White Tower has been rebuilt over a series of steps leading steeply up the slope of Warta Hill.
