Templin City Walls

Templin's medieval city walls are small, but complete. There are three main gate towers and several modern entrances, where parts of the wall were torn down. The Pulverturm was built in the early 15th century from an old semi-circular defensive structure called a Wiekhaus in the Templin town wall, which itself is a protected monument. It is made of brick and was covered by a massive brick conical spire. Because the roof was solid, it was nonflammable and acted as a powder tower for the storage of gunpowder.
