Powder Magazine

Museum Beechworth, Australia

What to expect

The Powder Magazine is a unique and historic building that was constructed in 1859 to store black-powder used for blasting on the goldfields. The building's design ensures that any explosion would be directed upwards rather than outwards, making it a safe and secure storage facility. Visitors can see the engineering that created this sturdy and rare building, which is the best example in Victoria of this type of building. The Powder Magazine is a great place to visit for those interested in history and architecture
