Gołębnik Tower in Toruń, Gothic fortified tower in Old Town, Toruń, Poland.

The Gołębnik Tower is a Gothic fortified structure in Torun's Old Town with solid brick walls and pointed arches. It forms part of the medieval defensive system and displays the characteristic architecture of the Gothic period.

The tower was built in the 13th century as part of the city's defensive system to protect it and monitor trade. This structure served as a strategic point in the defense network that safeguarded Torun against attackers.

The tower displays the red brick construction typical of medieval fortifications across Northern Europe and reflects the building traditions of the region. Visitors can still see the careful craftsmanship and construction methods that made Torun an important fortified city.

The tower is easily reached from the main square of the Old Town and can be viewed from outside. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for wet paths during rainy weather.

Inside the tower are original star-pattern ceiling decorations and colored glazed bricks that reveal the skill of medieval craftsmen. These details were applied with great care and are rarely found in other structures throughout the city.
