The Bagijnetoren in the city of Delft, in the Dutch province of South Holland, was originally built as a watchtower and formed part of the fortifications of Delft's city walls. The city of Delft was granted city rights on April 15, 1246, thereby acquiring the right to build a wall around the city. The Bagijnetoren is a later addition to the fortifications, likely built around the year 1500.
