Braniborska Tower in Zielona Góra, Observation tower in Zielona Góra, Poland.
The hexagonal structure features two distinct sections with a rotating dome at its peak, housing a telescope for astronomical observations and studies.
Built between 1859 and 1860, the tower initially combined restaurant services with viewpoint functions and received a planetarium installation by 1914.
The tower earned the local nickname 'mug pot' in the 20th century due to its beverage service while maintaining its position as an astronomical center.
The University of Zielona Góra manages the facility alongside the Polish Society of Astronomy Fans, requiring advance appointments for guided tours.
The structure contains a rotating dome mechanism that enables precise astronomical observations while offering regional dining experiences for visitors.
