Зачатьевская башня, Historic fortress tower in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia
The Zachatyevskaya Tower stands between Belaya and Borisoglebskaya towers at the lower section of the Kremlin hill facing the Volga riverbanks.
Built between 1500 and 1514, the tower served as a passage through the Kremlin walls until structural damages forced its closure in 1622.
The tower received its name from the adjacent Zachatyevsky Monastery, established by the wife of Prince Andrei Konstantinovich on the Volga riverbank.
The current structure, reconstructed in 2012, functions as a museum displaying archaeological findings and fragments of the original tower construction.
The tower underwent several name changes, including White Tower due to its limestone base and Zhivonosovskaya Tower after a nearby healing spring.
