The Cow Tower is an artillery tower by the River Wensum in Norwich, Norfolk, England. Built between 1398 and 1399 by the city authorities in response to the threat from France and indigenous English rebels, the tower was intended to defend the north-eastern approach to Norwich with hand cannons and bombards. It stood apart from the main city walls, close to the river where its height would have allowed it to fire onto the higher ground opposite the city. The tower was designed to hold a garrison when required and was well furnished, probably using different floors for dining and sleeping.

  • Der Cow Tower ist ein Wehrturm am Fluss Wensum, dem nördlichen Zufluss zum Yare, in Norwich in der englischen Grafschaft Norfolk. Der Turm wurde in den Jahren 1398 und 1399 zur Abwehr der Bedrohung durch französische Truppen und einheimische Rebellen gebaut. Er deckte den nordöstlichen Zugang der Stadt mit Kanonen und Stellungen für mit Handfeuerwaffen ausgerüsteten Soldaten. Er stand abseits der Stadtmauer und konnte aufgrund seiner Höhe das höher gelegene Gelände im Vorfeld unter Feuer nehmen. (de)
