The tower, also known as the Żary Gate Tower (Wieża Bramy Żarskiej) dates back to the 14th Century and is the only surviving element of the Medieval fortifications around Lubsko. The defensive walls were dismantled in the first half of the 19th Century, and a tenement house was built at the tower. After World War II, the tower became the headquarters of first Milicja Obywatelska (Citizens’ Militia) and then the Police. Since the beginning of the 21st Century, it is serving as the seat of local NGOs. The tower is open to visitors. From the top, you can see a magnificent vista of the town.
