Town hall tower in Żnin, Gothic defensive tower in Żnin, Poland
The 15th-century tower rises from the town center with thick stone walls, pointed arches, and a square base measuring twenty meters in height.
Built around 1445, the structure remained the sole surviving part of the original town hall complex after Swedish forces destroyed the main building in 1656.
The tower now functions as a branch of the Pałuki Region Museum, displaying medieval weapons, historical artifacts, and an original clock mechanism.
Visitors can access four exhibition levels inside the tower, which includes a medieval armory, city treasury, and a collection of archaeological findings.
Archaeological excavations in 2010 revealed four medieval black powder cannons near the tower, similar to the reconstructed one displayed at its entrance.
