Wojciechów Castle, Medieval defensive tower in Wojciechów, Poland

The stone tower stands 12 meters wide and 13 meters long, featuring thick walls constructed from local materials in the northern section of the complex.

The tower's construction began under Jan Pilecki, the Lublin staroste, following the devastation caused by Tatar invasions in the Lublin region during 1500.

The structure received its name 'Arian Tower' from Protestant families Spinek and Orzechowski who owned the property during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

The Society for the Protection of Monuments prevented the tower's demolition in 1910 and initiated renovation works to preserve this medieval structure.

The tower transformed from a defensive structure to a granary in the nineteenth century, maintaining its architectural integrity through multiple functional changes.
