Address: ul. Piastowska 14 , 45-082 Opole

One of the oldest preserved monuments in Poland today. The round castle tower was formerly located in the southeast corner of the Piast castle. Built around 1300 during the reign of Prince Bolek I. The helmet of the tower was rebuilt several times, but the walls themselves were very durable and have survived to this day. The castle often fell into ruin, it was also of little use and expensive to maintain. It was decided to demolish it, keeping the tower, however, thanks to the opposition of the Polish middle class and activists Union of Poles in Germany. In 1928, the tower was incorporated into the design of the planned building of the region - Provincial Office. The tower's construction is erected on a stone foundation 6 meters deep. The width of its walls in the lower part of the tower reaches 3 meters. Originally, the tower was entered through a hole at a height of 9 m, which is currently walled up. As a result of uneven settlement of foundations, the Piast Tower is slightly tilted. The current vertical deviation is about 1.5 degrees.
