Więzienie miejskie

The Gothic four-wing prison complex features a central courtyard, three staircases, and outdoor galleries spread across multiple floors at Więzienna Street.

Built in the first half of the 14th century, the structure evolved from a three-story brick tower into a complete quadrangle by the year 1500.

The basement of the eastern section, which once contained interrogation chambers and torture rooms, now houses a pub frequented by locals.

The building now serves as headquarters for the Wrocław Branch of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

A painted figure called The Prisoner looks out from a window onto Więzienna Street, marking a stop on the Wrocław Dwarfs trail.
