Zakład Karny w Kaliszu, Correctional facility in Kalisz, Poland.
The prison complex includes multiple structures with thick walls, metal gates, and watchtowers positioned at strategic points around the perimeter.
The penitentiary institution, designed by architects Henryk Marconi and Franciszek Tournelle, opened its doors in 1846 to accommodate male inmates.
The facility's Neo-Romanesque architecture represents 19th-century institutional design principles that shaped correctional facilities across Eastern Europe.
The prison operated until 2015 with a capacity of 197 inmates in the main building and 80 additional spaces in the closed section.
In 2020, the former prison building became part of the Warsaw University of Criminology and Penitentiary Science.
