Rabenštejnská věž, Medieval fortified tower in České Budějovice, Czech Republic.
The rectangular four-story structure features a high gable roof interrupted by three projecting bay windows on the northern edge of the old town.
Built between the 14th and 15th centuries, the tower served as part of the city walls and later functioned as a prison until the early 19th century.
Named after Wolfgang Rabenstein, a Dominican monastery monk, the tower currently houses a cultural center, gallery, and design shop operated by Umění ve městě.
The tower opens Tuesday through Friday from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, and weekends from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM, located at Panská 207/4 in České Budějovice.
Municipal physicians used the tower twice weekly for examining prostitutes during its period as a prison facility in the 19th century.
