Powder Gate
-
In the 15th century, King Vladislav II laid the corner-stone for this tower at the city’s eastern gate, intended to complement the Royal Court nearby. Used to store gunpowder in the 17th century, hence the name, the tower was damaged during attacks by Prussian forces in 1757. The Neo-Gothic façade seen today, with its sculptural decoration, dates from 1876.
