Donżon w Lublinie, Medieval defensive tower at Lublin Castle, Poland.
The cylindrical stone and brick tower rises four levels high with walls reaching 3.5 meters in thickness and contains a spiral staircase inside.
Built in the second half of the 13th century as part of a wooden stronghold, the tower served as a noble prison from the 16th to 18th centuries.
The tower incorporates both Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements, featuring characteristic brick patterns, window shapes, and decorative stone masks from the period.
Visitors can access the tower daily from 9:00 to 21:00 through the National Museum in Lublin, located at Zamkowa Street 9.
The tower walls contain preserved prisoner graffiti from the early 17th century, etched into five original bricks during their incarceration.
