Wawel Danish Tower, Gothic tower in Wawel Castle, Kraków, Poland
The Danish Tower rises as a vertical fortification within the Wawel Castle complex, featuring stone walls and buttresses that extend toward the sky.
During the reign of King Władysław II Jagiełło and Queen Jadwiga, this tower became an essential part of the castle's defensive infrastructure in medieval times.
The Danish Tower forms part of a collection of structures at Wawel Castle that demonstrate the evolution of Polish military architecture from the 14th century.
Visitors can access the tower through guided tours of Wawel Castle, which operate daily from April through October between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
The tower's position along the castle walls provides direct views over the Vistula River, enabling historical monitoring of water traffic and approaching vessels.
