Description

The Powder Tower (also known as Mihulka) is a 15th-century structure that was originally part of the castle's defensive system. Located north of St Vitus Cathedral, it was later used as the workshop of Tomáš Jaroš, a cannon and bell maker, who crafted the bells for the Cathedral. Presently, the Tower displays an exhibition related to the history of the Castle Guard.
