Wok's Tower, Gothic tower in Zamkowy Square, Prudnik, Poland.
The cylindrical structure rises with two distinct levels marked by cornices and features a lower octagonal section built entirely from greywacke stone materials.
Constructed around 1300 as part of Prudnik Castle, the tower functioned as a defensive structure known as stolp, serving as a fortified point of protection.
The tower represents medieval architectural techniques in Silesia, demonstrating the engineering capabilities and defensive requirements of Gothic period construction methods.
The Museum of Prudnik Region maintains the tower as a viewing point, allowing visitors to climb to the top for observations of the surrounding landscape.
The stone frame opening on the northern side contains two preserved medieval consoles, reflecting original architectural elements from the 14th century.
