The tower was probably built before 1533, but was first mentioned in 1546 in an expert opinion as "Lewturm". The remainder of a year ..52 gives the clue that structural changes were probably made to the tower in 1522. The floor plan of the five-story bulwark is horseshoe-shaped: the side facing the enemy is semicircular, the side facing the city is straight and broken by windows. In terms of its function, the Löwenturm (Lion Tower) was a so-called gun tower. In 1883, apartments were built into the Löwenturm, providing accommodation for the homeless.
