The Leaning Tower is a medieval tower that was built in the 14th century and was part of Toruń's defensive walls. There are also legends about it, for example that it was built by a Teutonic Knight who had an affair with a merchant's daughter - and as a penance he was supposed to build a leaning tower; a symbol of abandoning the monastic rule.

The Leaning Tower of Torun is an element of the medieval fortifications of Torun.
It is tilted by 1.46 m from the vertical.
The tower was built in the second half of the 13th century as a square, 15 m high bastion. As a result of a ground collapse, the tower began to lean.
In the 18th century, the tower was converted into a women's prison. In the 19th century, a smithy and an apartment for the armorer were set up in the tower. The Gothic tent roof was replaced by a pent roof. The tower currently houses a coffee shop and a souvenir shop.

What you MUST do as a tourist at the Leaning Tower is:

- heels against the wall

back against the wall
- hands outstretched

Whoever stands still for more than 3 seconds and doesn't fall forward wins ;)

It's a MUST for a visit to Torun!
