Tower on Wieżyca Hill in Sobótka is one of 172 surviving Bismarck towers worldwide, built between 1906-1907 by Wrocław students using granite from nearby Mount Ślęża. Standing 15 meters tall with 60 steps, the tower was designed by Wilhelm Kreis in his "Götterdämmerung" (Twilight of the Gods) style and originally featured a fire beacon on top.

After years of neglect, local residents initiated its restoration in 1992, and it now serves as a tourist attraction offering panoramic views of the Silesian landscape.
