Dansker

A dansker (also danzker) is a toilet facility, belonging to a castle, that is housed in a tower over a river or stream. The tower, generally a so-called toilet tower (German: Abortturm), is linked to the castle over a bridge, which has a covered or enclosed walkway. The dansker is mainly found at German ordensburgen and is an architectural feature of the 13th and 14th centuries.
