Torre Koci Łeb

Koci Łeb Tower (Street Podmurna 74, Toruń) – those passing through this town will notice this fortified tower (which acted as a prison dungeon). Built during the Middle Ages along the town’s northern municipal wall, the tower was extended during the 16th century (adding cannons for improved fire power). It was partially destroyed during the Northern War (in 1703), and refurbished during the early 20th century. This tower also became useful when it held back a Swedish invasion in 1629.
