Pulverturm, Coesfeld, Medieval defense tower in Coesfeld, Germany.
The Pulverturm stands as a three-story stone tower with a spire roof between the Münstertor and Walkenbrückentor gates of Coesfeld.
Built in the 14th century as part of city fortifications, the tower endured significant damage during an air raid on March 21, 1945.
The structure changed names through centuries, from Schwesternturm due to its location near an Augustinian convent to its current name Pulverturm.
Since 2002, the Heimatverein Coesfeld maintains this heritage building, which contains meeting rooms and office spaces with rotating exhibitions.
Remnants of the original city wall remain visible on the exterior masonry of the tower, connecting present-day visitors to medieval Coesfeld.
