The Red Tower

The Red Tower was built in 1490 and was named for the colour of its bricks. An impressive building in its time, it was damaged during the 1644 siege. It has had many uses through the ages, it was later known as Brimstone House as it was used to manufacture gunpowder. It was almost a ruin in 1735 and has undergone several restorations.
