Drum tower (Europe)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Drum tower in Europe is a round tower that has a longer diameter length than height,[1] resembling the shape of the musical instrument. Sometimes the term is used erroneously to describe typical round Norman defense towers or circular towers in general.

The Malmö Castle has two drum towers which, in having a larger diameter length than height, have a drum shape.
