Bismarck Tower, Janówek, Memorial tower in Janówek, Poland
The stone tower rises 23 meters high on Jańska Góra hill, constructed with serpentine, granite, sandstone, and brick materials in a Germanic architectural style.
Friedrich Schröter, a retired Prussian officer and landowner, funded the construction of this tower in 1869 following Prussia's military victories in European conflicts.
The tower displays an entrance inscription and formerly held marble slabs commemorating significant events in German history, including the wars of 1864 and 1866.
Visitors can reach the central chamber through the remaining staircase, although the structure has deteriorated significantly since World War II artillery damage.
This monument holds the distinction of being the first Bismarck tower ever constructed, initiating a movement that led to over 240 similar structures across German territories.
