Zakład Karny w Kaliszu, Correctional facility in Kalisz, Poland.
The correctional facility in Kalisz is a prison building with thick stone walls, metal gates, and guard towers positioned at key points around the perimeter. The structure reflects typical 19th-century institutional design with multiple separate sections for different areas.
The correctional facility opened in 1846 and served as an important institution for male prisoners in the region for many decades. The building was eventually closed and has since been repurposed.
The facility's Neo-Romanesque architecture represents 19th-century institutional design principles that shaped correctional facilities across Eastern Europe.
The building can be viewed from the outside as it is a historic landmark with architectural significance. Access to the interior depends on current plans for the site's use and any guided programs.
Since 2020, the building houses the Warsaw University of Criminology and Penitentiary Science, making it an active research and education center. This transformation connects the site's historical role with contemporary academic study.
