The Biesenbastion, also Sint-Antoniebastion or Bastion Destombe, was a 16th-century bastion on the river Meuse in Maastricht, Netherlands. It developed from a medieval tower, the Biesentoren or Schonenvaardersbolwerk. The bastion was largely demolished after 1867, although remnants remain in the brickwork of the quayside wall, as well as under the pavement of Biesenwal.
