Kokui Tower, Military tower in Novgorod Kremlin, Russia
The 41-meter Kokui Tower rises above the Novgorod Kremlin complex with its distinct architectural design featuring multiple tiers and observation platforms.
German forces utilized the tower as an observation post during World War II, causing substantial damage to its upper section before the city liberation in 1944.
The tower represents medieval Russian defensive architecture and appears on the 1997 five-ruble banknote as part of the Novgorod Kremlin landscape.
Two telescopes with 60x magnification installed on the observation deck allow visitors to examine distant landmarks across the medieval city landscape.
The lower section of the tower served as storage space for cabbage and housed pigs kept by local firefighters during the nineteenth century.
