The Wrocław Tower (Wieża Wrocławska) in Paczków is one of three gate towers – alongside the Kłodzko and Ząbkowice towers – which are elements of the town fortifications preserved to this day. Located on Wrocławska Street, the facility measures 23 meters in height. The structure was destroyed in the first half of the 15th century and rebuilt in the 1460s. At that time, a pillory, or a "post of shame", was set up next to it, where the punishment of flogging was administered to criminals. In the finial of the tower, you can see crenellations with arrow slits. On the highest floor of the tower, there is an observation point offering a panoramic view of the town.
