The Dmitrievskaya Tower (Russian: Дмитриевская башня, romanized: Dmitrievskaya bashnya) is the main tower on the southern wall of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin which overlooks the Minin and Pozharsky Square.

[1] The Dmitrievskaya Tower was built between 1500 and 1516 during the construction of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin.

In the early 18th the Kremlin walls and the Dmitrievskaya Tower were traditionally painted white, in accordance with fashion.

Height of the tower decreased by 6 m after back filling of a moat between 1834 and 1837 around the Kremlin.

At the opening ceremony of the museum, Emperor Nicholas II and his wife attended.

In 1913 a big celebration was held in honor of the 300th anniversary of the Romanov family near the Dmitrievskaya Tower.
