Tips from the Community
The first mention of the castle in Ząbkowice dates back to 1335, but it is not known whether it was located in this particular place. It may have stood a little further north, where the church of St. Anne and the Leaning Tower are now. This first castle was destroyed in 1468. The current castle was built in 1532. During the Thirty Years' War it was captured by the Swedes, who robbed it, devastated it, and then began to demolish it. After those events, the castle never rose from its ruins. Several attempts were made to renovate it, but they were never completed. In the interwar period, the castle housed a regional museum and a tourist hostel. Currently, the castle is maintained and preserved as a so-called permanent ruin.

The Leaning Tower is located next to the parish church. It was built in the 14th century. It is not known why, perhaps it served as a watchtower and was then adapted as a church belfry? Or maybe it was built as a free-standing belfry right away? It is not known, but recent archaeological research indicates that the first Ząbkowice castle could have been located near the tower. The tower tilted suddenly, in 1598, after an earlier subsidence. Initially, it was 1.5 meters from the vertical, but the tilt is still increasing and currently is 2.1 meters. The highest, straight storey of the tower was most likely added in the 17th century. Until World War II, 3 massive bells were hung on the tower. They were removed during the war and melted down. Currently, the Leaning Tower is used as a viewing tower. Admission is charged.

The tower was built in 1516, during the reconstruction of the wooden and earthen ramparts into brick city walls. Initially, it was open from the city side. Somehow, it survived the period of the walls' demolition, which occurred in the 18th century. At the turn of the 19th century, the Pigeon Tower was enlarged by adding a section of wall and closed with a half-timbered wall. It served as a warehouse and residential space. After World War II, it housed the headquarters of the Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society, and later the Scout Communications Club. Currently, the tower is in private hands, but is not used.

The medieval leaning tower is called the "Silesian Pisa" The highest leaning tower in Poland is 34 m high, the vertical deviation is 2.14 m and the thickness of the walls exceeds 4 m
