Pulverturm, Medieval defensive tower in Jena, Germany.
The cylindrical stone tower stands as part of the remaining city walls, featuring robust construction methods from medieval military architecture.
Built in the late 15th century, the Pulverturm stored gunpowder for military forces and protected the city through multiple regional conflicts.
Regular guided tours named 'Von Turm zu Turm' connect visitors with local history through educational presentations about medieval defense systems.
The observation platform remains open for visitors throughout the year, with group tours available for up to 25 participants at 120 euros.
