Bismarck Tower

The tower of Bismarck was built of hewn boulders 32 meters high and was located on a high (68 m) hill. The tower was consecrated on August 17, 1912. To the east of the tower a German soldier who was killed in the First World War on the observation post on the tower was buried. From the tower a large wide staircase made of stone and surrounded by thuja and a cobblestone road lined with trees collected from all over the world was leading up to the river. Currently, the upper part of the tower with the roof is completely lost, and the tower is crumbling away. The information has been taken from the reference book Objects of Cultural Heritage of the Kaliningrad Region. Compiled and edited by A.M. Tarunov (2013-2015)
