Historic Landmarks and Towers

Greater Poland’s landscape is defined by its historic civic architecture and defensive structures. This collection features a variety of town halls ranging from the Renaissance masterpiece in Poznań to the Neoclassical halls of Koło and Konin. The list also includes defensive remnants like the late-Gothic Halszka Tower in Szamotuły, traditional wooden windmills, and the medieval cone-shaped stronghold at Mrówki. These landmarks represent centuries of regional history, from early Piast rule to the development of 19th-century municipal centers.
