Protiturecká Tower, Renaissance watchtower in Krupina, Slovakia
The Protiturecká Tower rises 12 meters from Strázavar Hill with a quadrilateral structure measuring 3 by 3.1 meters and features a timber gallery at its summit.
Built in 1564 during Ottoman expansion, the tower formed part of an alert network where 20 soldiers monitored Turkish movements and warned nearby settlements of approaching threats.
The tower represents Renaissance military engineering in Slovakia through its stone corbels, narrow observation slits, and three-floor design incorporating wooden ceilings and storage space.
Visitors reach the tower by climbing modern exterior stairs to access the observation platform, which provides views across the Krupinica river valley and surrounding region.
The structure maintains its original architectural elements from the 16th century, including the hip roof with shingles and the ground-level storage compartment.
