The Malmö Castle has two drum towers which, in having a larger diameter length than height, have a drum shape.

Drum towers, in European terminology, refer to the shape of the round towers who have a longer diameter length than height,[1] resembling the shape of the musical instrument. Sometimes the term is used erroneously used to describe typical round Norman defense towers or circular towers in general.
