    The powder tower was built in the 13th century, it was part of a fortification with 12 towers and 4 gates.

    At the Powder Tower there is a memorial plaque for a well-known coffee roaster.

    The powder tower dates back to the 13th century and was once part of Attendorn's city fortifications. Of the 12 towers and 4 gates, only the powder tower and the Bieke tower remain today after the city fortifications were demolished (1812).

    The powder tower got its name because the Landwehr battalion, which had been stationed in Attendorn since 1837, stored its powder supplies in this tower. The middle and upper floors could only be accessed by a ladder from the city side. (Source: medienwerkstatt-online.de/lws_wissen/vorlagen/showcard.php?id=27530)
