Krudttårnet, Military gunpowder magazine from 1687 in Frederikshavn, Denmark.

The circular stone tower stands as the final remaining structure of the original citadel, featuring thick walls and strategic positioning near the harbor.

The tower moved 270 meters from its initial location in 1974 during a 13-month relocation project to accommodate the expansion of Frederikshavn's shipyard.

During summer evenings, the tower participates in a traditional black powder salute at 8:00 PM to mark the setting of the sun.

Visitors can explore exhibits about naval history, examine historical cannons, and access the top floor to view the wooden roof construction.

The structure serves as a museum managed by volunteer soldiers who maintain the building and guide visitors through maritime exhibits.
