Copernicus Tower in Frombork, Medieval tower in Frombork, Poland
The Copernicus Tower rises above Cathedral Hill, featuring red brick construction and architectural elements characteristic of northern European Gothic design.
Between 1512 and 1543, Nicolaus Copernicus conducted astronomical observations from this tower, leading to his revolutionary theory of planetary motion.
The tower contains exhibits displaying medieval astronomical instruments and scientific tools that demonstrate the methods used for celestial observations in the Renaissance period.
Visitors can climb to the top level of the tower through interior staircases to view the Vistula Lagoon and surrounding landscapes.
