Robičská tower

A small gate known as “Robičská branka“ used to stand here and it served as the only entrance to the town from this side. The gate was demolished in 1859 and only the watch tower remains standing. The structure is built from quarry stone with cut corner block stones in the lower part. Windows with a vaulted arch are placed above one another in the upper part. In the course of years, the tower was raised. The superstructure provided a room for the watchman who watched the surroundings. A well-preserved privete on the uppermost floor is certainly worth noticing. The privete (from the Latin locus privatus) is a medieval toilet built on consoles extending outside the tower body. Although the tower is currently not accessible to the public, it is an interesting remnant of the original southern fortification.
