It is one of the oldest wall towers of the Old City of Toruń (from the late 13th century). Like any other, it was open from the side of the city, and only in the 17th - 18th centuries the fourth wall was added. Approximately in mid-18th century the 1-storey outbuilding was attached to the tower from the street side, which in the mid-19th century was rebuilt and cargo crane was added; that was the period when the tower was used for storage. In 1911, the outbuilding was demolished and replaced with 3-storey tenement house, which absorbed the tower. Only in the mid-1980s the tenement was pulled down and it was decided to expose the Gothic tower.
Interior sightseeing: not available for tourists (it houses dept. of culture of the city office).
