It was built in the years 1900-1904 on the orders of Martin Quistorp as a tribute to Father Johannes, a Szczecin manufacturer and philanthropist, the founder of many city investments and a very influential man. Quistorp Tower, together with the surrounding area, developed with numerous alleys and garden greenery, was the destination for Sunday walks for the residents of Szczecin. The tower was designed by Franz Schwechten, one of the Berlin architects, a collaborator of Walter Gropius. The circumstances and exact time of the tower's destruction are not entirely clear. One version says that the tower was destroyed in 1944 as a result of one of the Allied bombing raids, another - that it was blown up by the Germans in 1945 during the battles for Szczecin, because it was an easy point of reference for Soviet artillery. Currently, there are fragments of the building on the hill, partially covered with earth and overgrown. Next to the remains is the entrance to the underground.
