This article presents the remains of late-medieval brick architecture unveiled during the archeological supervision conducted in 2007 in the territories of north-western part of the Old Town of Toruń. The description of the discovered part of the fortified tower and the relics of the defensive wall accompanying it are presented in the context of the observed stratigraphy and with taking into consideration the moving source material. The obtained results of specialized laboratory tests of the collected mortar samples were discussed together with the resulting conclusions. An attempt was made to decide the location and chronology of the presently non-existent fortified tower, using written and cartographic sources as well as previous studies in the field of the examined problematic aspects. The research results presented in this text allow, for example, to identify and localize one of the presently non-existent elements of the fortification system of the late-medieval and modern Toruń. Due to the fact that from several dozens of fortified towers built, only few objects have survived to the present day, apart from significantly broadening the knowledge about this type of objects, we also get the opportunity to conduct comparative studies of Gothic architecture in Toruń, also in the field of detailed analyzes.
