Mint Tower in Goleniów

The Mint Tower is an octagonal brick tower forming part of the defensive walls of Goleniów. It stands in a stretch of fortifications running along the promenade by the Ina River. The heritage register does not give an exact date for the building.

The town mint

The name comes from its function. The tower once housed the town mint, where among other things coins known as the Goleniów white groschen were struck. Today the tower is closed, and it can be seen only from the outside.

The water gate

Next to the tower a gate known as the water gate has survived. It once led from the walled town down to the river. This whole stretch of fortifications combines well with a walk around the old town: nearby stand the Wolin Gate and the Gunpowder Tower, and the remaining stretches of the fortifications are described under the town walls.
