Wijndragerstoren

Description

The Wijndragerstoren is a wall tower in Zwolle's city wall, built between 1475 and 1500. Originally featuring a steeper roof, it was later modified to a lower tiled roof due to advancements in siege techniques. In peacetime, the tower served as the residence for the city's appointed wine porter and housed the wine porters' guild. Since the early 1980s, the building has been used for hospitality purposes.
