The Powder Tower of a Magister Edward Kelley   

Tower

            A renovated shop to let is located in a former alchemy laboratory of a Renaissance occultist Sir Edward Kelley in the Powder Tower in A Square.

The tower walls served as a dungeon to a crazed noblewoman White Lady, treasury, aristocrat’s observatory and the alchemist laboratory favorite with the Emperor, who was looking for the elixir of life and eternal youth.

During unsuccessful siege by a foreign army it served as a deposit of casks with gun powder.

It later served as a depository of garden statuettes and even as storage of horse feed.
