Csősztorony, Watchtower in Óhegy, Hungary.
The Csősztorony stands as a rectangular two-story structure with a gabled roof and an asymmetrical square building featuring a connecting spiral staircase.
Built in 1844 following a competition by the Pest Magistrate, architects Lőrinc Zofahl and Ferenc Brein designed this tower to protect local vineyards from thieves.
The tower appears in the coat of arms of Kőbánya district, representing the historical connection between the structure and the local wine-making traditions.
The structure contains a chief watchman's residence and an observation point accessible through elaborate wooden doors and iron-railed spiral staircases.
Located at the highest point of Ó-hegy at 148 meters, this national monument underwent three major restorations in 1954, 1984, and 2012.
