Wrocław Gate in Oleśnica, Medieval gate tower in Oleśnica, Poland
The angular stone tower rises from the city walls with a pointed roof and features rectangular windows on multiple levels of its structure.
Construction of the Wrocław Gate began in 1400 as part of the city fortification system, incorporating defensive elements such as a portcullis mechanism and guard rooms.
The gate stands as one of four original entry points to medieval Oleśnica, representing the transition from wooden to brick fortifications in Silesian architecture.
Visitors can access the gate tower from Wrocławska Street, where informational panels detail the structure's military and architectural significance through the centuries.
The structure survived the widespread demolition of city fortifications in the 18th century due to direct intervention by Frederick III, preserving its original medieval features.
