Pod Zrębem Tower in Gdańsk, Gothic fortified tower in Gdańsk, Poland.

The cylindrical structure features a truncated wall, rising with a conical roof and four dormers arranged around a central pinnacle point.

Built in 1400, the tower served as a defense fortification until military advancements led to its conversion into a military storage facility.

The tower represents medieval construction techniques and stands as part of Gdańsk's extensive network of historical fortifications alongside numerous Gothic buildings.

The structure remains fenced due to partial collapses in 1975 and 1982, requiring protective measures to prevent further structural deterioration.

The northern section of Pod Zrębem Tower experienced a complete collapse on March 3, 1982, leaving a distinctive architectural profile visible today.
