Bashta Labendz, installed on the banks of the Moltava in the 15th century. In its place, the Fisherman's Bastion previously stood, which was considered part of the castle of the Teutonic Knights. It was destroyed by the townspeople themselves in 1454, when Gdansk was freed from the dominion of the Teutonic Order. After that, on the site of the bastion, a brick tower was built, topped with a conical roof, the tiles of which were made of ceramic plates. It was also part of the medieval fortifications of the city of Gdansk - it was used to monitor the surroundings, guards were constantly on duty on it, whose duties included monitoring the city blocks and making noise in case of fire.→
