The Scheiblingturm, a historic component of Freistadt's city fortifications, owes its name to its characteristic floor plan, which resembles a disc. This round tower is one of two towers built in the 15th century to strengthen the city's defense. The construction of these round towers was a direct reaction to the Hussite attacks, who attempted to take Freistadt. Although the Hussites failed, they left behind burnt suburbs, which made it clear to the people of Freistadt how important improved protection of the city walls and especially the water system was.
