    Tips

    The Round Tower was built in 1477 and served as a gunpowder depot until the 19th century – just outside the city walls so no one would be hurt if it exploded, but close enough to be available when needed! Originally flat-roofed, it only received the conical roof that can still be seen today in the 18th century. For safety reasons, its function as a gunpowder depot was abandoned in 1752 and relocated to a location outside the city in Gneixendorf (Ried Pulverturm), where, however, a catastrophic explosion occurred in 1851. This widely visible "Lug ins Land" (a lure to the land) is one of the landmarks of the city of Krems.
