The knights' tower in Witkowo is a unique building of this type in the Lubuskie region. According to available information, it was built in the second half of the 14th century. The vaults and walls on the ground floor remain from that time. On the first floor, there are remains of frescoes, of course related to religious themes. And generally, these two floors hide the most interesting things, and the appearance of the upper floors is the result of "so-called renovation works" after the war and does not really resemble medieval buildings. In front of the tower there is a single-storey building, slightly younger than it, because it dates back to the 15th century. This building is an outbuilding connected to the tower by an underground passage, although this passage dates back to the second half of the 20th century. Currently, the tower is inhabited by private individuals. A very nice couple will be happy to show you around the entire building, telling you its history in a very interesting way (for a small fee) "whatever you want". Rooms in the tower can be rented for a few days by prior arrangement.
