Baszta Halszki w Szamotułach, Medieval fortified tower in Szamotuły, Poland.
The Gothic residential tower rises four stories high with diagonal buttresses at corners and features decorative window frames with fish bladder motifs.
Built in the late second quarter of the 15th century, the tower served as a defensive structure until 1518 when it was converted into residential quarters.
The tower houses exhibits spanning from Bronze Age burials to modern history, with a special hall dedicated to Princess Halszka on the first floor.
The basement contains archaeological displays, while the second and third floors present the chronological development of Szamotuły from 1231 to 1945.
The tower features an overhanging top floor with arcade friezes and machicolations on all four sides, indicating its original free-standing defensive purpose.
