Wieża Bismarcka w Żaganiu, Memorial tower in Żagań, Poland.
The granite and stone monument rises 20 meters high on Burgberg hill, featuring strong columns at its main portal and a resting lion sculpture.
The tower was inaugurated on June 27, 1909, after a construction period that began in 1908 and required 750 cubic meters of stones.
The structure belongs to a network of 234 memorial towers built across German territories between 1869 and 1934 to honor Chancellor Otto von Bismarck.
Visitors can climb to the observation platform for views over Żagań, though the structure shows signs of deterioration and needs maintenance.
The tower served as a water tower until 2002, combining its memorial function with practical municipal infrastructure purposes for many decades.
