Tower house in Żelazno, Baroque tower house in Żelazno, Poland.
The tower house stands on an elevated area in the Biała Lądecka river valley, near the parish church of St Martin and a steep riverside bank.
The structure dates from the late 15th century, with Jacob Stanke von Koritau, the burgrave of Kłodzko Castle and owner of local estates, as its probable founder.
The four-story building represents the evolution of Polish defensive architecture, combining residential comfort with strategic positioning in the Lower Silesian landscape.
Recent renovations restored the tower to its original appearance by removing modern plasters, reconstructing the timber porch, and installing a high hip roof.
The second floor features preserved relics of a latrine with a designated passage containing a niche specifically designed for lamp or candle placement.
