Szczecin Bismarck tower
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One of the many Bismarck Towers built in the former German Empire (Kaiserreich) is located in Szczecin, in north-western Poland (known as Stettin while part of Germany).
Its construction began relatively late, in 1913, and it was only finished in 1921. The total construction cost of the 25-metre-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 6 km 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.
