The buildings In the 14th century, the farms were surrounded by forests and swamps. They were gradually expanded by their owners into a fortified knight's seat. Today, Haag Castle consists of the former outer bailey and a forecourt to the north. The former manor house no longer exists. During the Spanish-Dutch War, the heavily fortified complex suffered from troops quartered there, who plundered it in 1584, partially demolished it and burned down the forecourt. In order to avoid further occupation, the magistrate of the city of Geldern turned to the governor of the Habsburg Netherlands, Alessandro Farnese, at the request of Baron Arnold von Boedberg, with the request to have the fortifications of Haag Castle demolished; with success, because the ramparts were torn down and the fortification walls demolished. Although the castle was marked as a hospital with Red Cross flags.

The smallest of the six preserved defensive towers of the Xanten city wall appears rather inconspicuous at first glance and was affectionately called "the little tower on the West Wall" by its former resident. The round tower, built of brick with a gable roof, nestles against the city wall from the outside and is now called the Weberturm in reference to an old street name and the mysterious lost Webertor. For decades, local historians have tried to locate the Webertor mentioned in old documents. To this day, it is not clear whether the foundations of the little tower actually preserve part of the gate. The eventful construction history goes back to the end of the 14th century, when Xanten received its stone city wall with defensive ramparts. These were later converted into kitchen and ornamental gardens. The old defensive towers, including the Weberturm, were partly converted into pretty garden houses. There were not only glorious times. During the Second World War, the basement served as an air raid shelter. Before the surroundings were completely redesigned in 1985, the tower belonged to a nursery and had been surrounded by greenhouses and tool sheds since the 1950s. Since 1974, a private individual has been caring about preserving the building and lived there until old age. Today, the tower shines in new splendor and can be used publicly for cultural purposes. As part of the redesign of the spa park, the building was completely renovated and extensively restored. On two floors, the simple, high-quality rooms offer space for exclusive events for up to twelve people. The name says it all: In the weaver's tower, filigree word structures can be spun at readings, conferences and lectures. The CULTURE TOWER on the West Wall.
