The late Gothic gate called Powder is one of the symbols of the Town. Its construction started in 1475 under supervision of a masonry master Václav. But it was a difficult task for him so that he has soon been replaced by Matyáš Rejsek from Prostějov. Matěj Rejsek decorated the Gate by a high-quality plastic decoration. A construction has remained uncompleted. Probably from a half of the 18th century the Gate was used as a storehouse of a powder that is why then was called the Powder Gate. Today´s appearance the Gate obtained only between 1878-86 led by an architect Josef Mocker. The Powder Gate is today 65 metres high and has 180 steps. The Interiors serve for the exhibition purposes.
