Siedlęcin Tower, Gothic tower in Siedlęcin, Poland.

The stone tower rises 33 meters high with multiple floors separated by wooden beam ceilings and connected through internal staircases beside the Bobr River.

Henry I of Jawor directed the construction of this defensive structure between 1313 and 1315 to monitor the trade route from Jelenia Góra to Wleń.

The second floor Great Hall contains medieval frescoes depicting scenes from Sir Lancelot's life, representing the oldest secular wall paintings in Poland.

The tower opens daily from 9 AM to 6 PM during May through October and from 10 AM to 4 PM from November through April.

The tower preserves original wooden ceilings from the 14th century and maintains a vertical arrangement combining residential, ceremonial, and defensive functions.
