Pulvertornis |
Laiks, kad Pulvertorni uzcēla, nav skaidri zināms, tāpat arī torņa nosaukums Pulvertornis radies vēlāk. Iespējams, kad pirmais tornis šajā vietā pilsētas aizsardzībai tikai uzcelts jau 13.gs. Dokumentos, tas pirmo reizi minēts 14.gs ar nosaukumu Smilšu tornis. Tagadējais tornis uzcelts visticamāk 15./16. gs mijā un bija celts piemērojoties uguns ieročiem. Tornis vairākas reizes ir cietis un ir ticis atjaunots. Pulvertornis nekad nav bijis apaļš un noslēgts tornis, bet gan pakavveidīgs ar vaļējo pusi uz pilsētu. Ieeja tornī atradusies 5 m virs toreizējā ielas augstuma un tajā varēja nokļūt tikai par trepēm.

Pēc Ziemeļu kara Pulvertornis savu militāro nozīmi zaudēja un tā aizmugure tika aiznaglota ar dēļiem. Pulvertorņa pārbūves darbi pielāgojot torni jaunajām prasībām notika 19.gs beigās pēc arhitekta H. Hilbiga projekta. Tornim tika izveidots jauns smails jumts, kāds bija redzams nocietinājuma torņiem 17.gs gravīrās. Tika aizmūrēta nenoslēgtā torņa daļa ar neogotiskās formās. Pēdējo lielo pārbūvi tornis piedzīvoja pēc 1. Pasaules kara, kad tornī ierīkoja Kara muzeju. 1937.-1939. gadam muzeju paplašināja piebūvējot torņa aizmugurē jaunu korpusu pēc arhitekta A. Galindona projekta.
