Classified as a historical monument under the name of "Tour des Cochons", it is decorated with a fresco representing the attack of Mulhouse.
It is one of the last remnants of the surrounding wall that protected this part of the town. Moreover Mulhouse is sometimes called City of the Bollwerk. It was classified as a historical monument in 1898 under the name of Tour des Cochons, because of the proximity of the slaughterhouses. It is decorated with a fresco, painted in 1893 by the painter Ferdinand Wagner, which represents the attack of Mulhouse by the Knight Malterer in 1385 and restored in the 1970s by Bernard Latuner, a painter from Mulhouse. Since 2006, the tramway has been passing right next to the tower.

La Tour du Bollwerk est jolie et bien conservée, on y trouve une belle fresque. Elle est située à proximité du tramway, ce qui laisse un contraste pas forcément agréable. Elle est située à proximité du Parc Salvator et du centre historique.
