The Powder Tower is a fortified rock formation of unknown origin located near the Hrubá Skála Castle above the red-marked Golden Path of Bohemian Paradise. To date, no written sources have survived that would clarify the history of the object. Its function is also unknown, because due to the proximity to the former castle (today's chateau) it can be assumed that it was not a separate residence, but an advanced fortification of Hrubá Skály. It probably got its name from the gunpowder that was stored here.
