Pulverturm, Fortification powder tower in Oldenburg, Germany.
The Pulverturm stands as a circular brick structure with a domed roof near the northern corner of Schlossgarten Oldenburg.
The powder tower, constructed between 1730 and 1765 during Danish rule, served as a secure storage facility for military gunpowder supplies.
This structure represents the last remaining element of Oldenburg's historic fortifications, with a small section of the original city wall still connected.
Visitors can reach the Pulverturm by walking through the Schlossgarten, with the Elisabeth-Anna-Palais and Oldenburg Castle located nearby.
The tower's strategic position between the Oldenburgisches Staatstheater and St Lamberti Church creates a physical connection between military and civic architecture.
