Leaning Tower of Toruń, Medieval defensive tower in Old Town Toruń, Poland.

The Gothic brick tower stands 15 meters tall with red walls and exhibits a notable tilt of 1.5 meters from its vertical axis.

Built in the 13th century as part of city fortifications, the structure changed functions from defensive tower to women's prison in the 18th century.

The tower carries a legend of a Teutonic Knight who built it as punishment for breaking monastic rules by falling in love with a merchant's daughter.

Located on Pod Krzywą Wieżą street, the tower operates from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM with admission prices of 13 PLN for adults and 9 PLN for children.

The structure underwent multiple transformations throughout centuries, serving as a blacksmith workshop and gunsmith residence during the 19th century.
