정육점의 탑(The Butchers' Tower. Turnul Măcelarilor)

The Butchers' Tower (Romanian: Turnul Măcelarilor, German: Fleischhauerturm) is one of the nine towers located in the Citadel of Sighişoara, belonging to Mureș County in Romania.


The Butcher’s Tower was built in late 15th century. Originally, the tower was shaped in a eight-sided prism, but in the 16th century it was rebuilt on a hexagonal plan and was raised with the specific purpose of enlarge the field of view over the small bastion built right in front of it.


The tower has three floors with five loopholes and the access was made, in the past, by the fortress wall gallery. Fortunately, the fire from 1676 did not affect the tower. The latter together with the bastion had a great importance in the defense of the western side of the Citadel.


Documents from 1680 mention that the tower hosted five arquebuses, few cannonballs and quintals of gunpowder.
