Zlatoust Tower

The Zlatoust Tower is located on the western part of the Novgorod Kremlin. It was built at the end of the XV century instead of the old, dilapidated building. The tower has four tiers and is rectangular. She was named after the nearby St. John Chrysostom Church, which was built in the 14th century and was demolished in 1694. During the Great Patriotic War, the tower was severely damaged, but in 1946 it was reconstructed and put in order. Now the Zlatoust Tower houses the services of the Novgorod State United Museum-Reserve. Also, the printing house of the city newspaper was previously located here.
