Quistorp's Tower, Lookout tower in Arkoński forest, Szczecin, Poland.
The 45-meter-tall brick tower stands on Arkona Hill, featuring a summer café on the ground floor and an observation deck with views of Szczecin.
Architect Franz Schwechten designed the tower in 1899, which was built as a monument to Johannes Quistorp, a local cement industry entrepreneur.
The tower formed part of a recreational complex where residents gathered for Sunday walks through garden alleys and enjoyed refreshments at the café.
Visitors can reach the tower ruins via a 45-minute walk from Szczecin center or take a bus to the edge of Arkoński forest.
The structure met its end in 1945, with theories suggesting German forces demolished it to prevent Soviet artillery from using it as a reference point.
