Pulverturm an der Frauenkirche: Dining with an old cannon
Pulverturm an der Frauenkirche is another garden-restaurant I tried once for lunch, as this garden is a lot more informal than Coselpalais, although they are inside the same building.The restaurant inside looks also great with old vaults,and they have different small rooms - see their webpage below !But on a hot summerday it is great to sit outside under the umbrella and dine with a cannon...There stood once an old powder-tower (Pulverturm) that was taken away in order to be able to build Coselpalais.The cannon shown on my picture is a replica of a cannon used by saxons in 1686 with a calibre of 24 pounds and a pipe-length of 2,46meters.The diameter of the muzzle is 15,1 cmThe Saxon army had 72 of such cannons ! I had a salad with fillet of turkey, I do not remember the price, but it was about average for Dresden and a lot cheaper than Coselpalais in the same building.
