Baszta Koci Ogon w Toruniu, Gothic fortified tower in Toruń, Poland
The medieval tower exhibits red brick construction with Gothic friezes, reaching multiple stories high with a distinctive northern tilt of six degrees.
Built in the late 13th or early 14th century as part of Toruń's defensive walls, the structure initially consisted of a basement and two floors.
The tower transformed from a military fortification to various functions including a women's prison, a smithy, and currently houses a restaurant.
Located at Pod Krzywą Wieżą 1/3, the tower welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM with entry fees of 13 złoty for adults.
The structure displays a vertical deviation of 1.5 meters due to soil instability, featuring both Polish Gothic and monk bond brickwork patterns.
