Pulverturm Lingen, Medieval tower in Lingen, Germany
The Pulverturm stands as a cylindrical stone tower with two floors, featuring thick walls and narrow windows characteristic of defensive architecture.
Built in the early 15th century as part of Burg Lingen's fortifications, the tower stored gunpowder until a devastating explosion occurred in 1607.
The tower serves as a gathering place for the Welfen section of Kivelinge, a local cultural organization maintaining regional traditions.
Visitors can observe the exterior of the tower at any time, while the surrounding garden area includes remnants of the original city wall.
The structure represents the last remaining element of Lingen's medieval fortress, reconstructed in 1961 using materials from the original fortification.
