The medieval city wall Kalkars was occupied until the end of the 16th century with about 16 towers. Only one remnant of the former town fortification has remained, and the pigeon tower, today up to the height of 4 m still in its original condition, is the only surviving round tower.

The dovecote has an interesting history. Built in 1446, it initially served as a prison tower. This is why people used to call it „Düven-Törm“ (thieves' tower). Through sound shift in Low German, it eventually developed into Duventurm, meaning dovecote.
The Kalkar artists Gerhard Janssen, Hermann Teuber, and Heinrich Nauen then used the tower as a studio.
