The watchtower prison in Głogówek is located near the castle. It was built at the end of the 16th century. At present, she is in charge of the local Regional Museum. It is a brick building on a square with a baroque helmet with a lantern. Inside there are original prison cells and a torture chamber with an exhibition showing the work of the former executioners.
The tower was built when the owners of the town were the Oppersdorff family. It was originally intended for prison purposes. To this day, solid barricades in small windows have been preserved and the massive door without handles and heavy bolts. The part of the target is also devoid of windows. They served as dark rooms where particularly dangerous prisoners were detained or those who were subjected to investigation.
One of the dark rooms served as a hall of torture. Here are illustrations showing the ways of extracting testimonies from prisoners. There is also a figure of the executioner and various tools used by him.
In the Baszt and adjacent to the nineteenth century administrative building there is also an ethnographic exhibition with the reconstructed multifunctional "room of the old man".
