Hlogovskaya Tower

Poland, Legnica
It is located in the historical center of the Polish city of Legnica. It was built in the 15th century of brick. Initially, the tower did not have a through passage - it served as an impregnable observation deck, as well as a convenient place from which to shoot back from the attacking enemy. After 400 years, the tower was covered with a tiled roof. Otherwise, her appearance has not changed. In 1861, a neo-Gothic opening was created in the tower for the passage of carriages. However, in the 20th century it was walled up by installing modern doors. The tower is currently used as an office building.

Unlike the Khoynovskaya tower, the Glogovskaya tower was built over the entrance gate to the city of the same name. Moreover, it appeared on the site of an older structure erected in the 13th century. Interestingly, in the next century, Legnica was completely surrounded by high walls. Thanks to EU subsidies, reconstruction was carried out in 2008-2012, and the tower is in good condition. The tower is available for visiting. It currently serves as a tourist information centre. It is located next to the Piast Castle.
