Gocław Tower

Gocław Tower () is a historical observation tower and cultural heritage site in Szczecin, Poland, located in the Gocław neighbourhood.

History

It was built as a Bismarck tower under the German Empire. Its construction began relatively late, in 1913, and it was only finished in 1921. The total construction cost of the -tall tower was approximately 200,000 German Papiermarks.

The tower is located on top of a small hill and is surrounded by a small wood, although the surrounding area is now generally industrial. It is approximately from the city centre, close to a tram terminus.

Although one can visit the tower, the main entry way is fully sealed off, as are all windows, making entry impossible. It is also in need of restoration.
