Brine graduation towers in Ciechocinek

The complex of three brine graduation towers in Ciechocinek is the largest and oldest structure of its kind in Poland and one of the largest wooden brine-evaporation structures in Europe. Towers I and II were built in 1824-1828, and tower III in 1859, according to a design by Prof. Jakub Graff of the Mining Academy in Kielce.

Location and surroundings

The facility is located in the southern part of the Ciechocinek health resort, on ul. Tezniowa, within the graduation-tower area with the spa park. The towers rest on approx. 7000 oak piles, their structure is made of spruce and pine, and the walls are filled with blackthorn.

Offer

The graduation towers serve as a natural inhalatorium rich in iodine. The total length of the three towers is 1741.5 m, and the height of each of them reaches 15.8 m. The brine trickling down the blackthorn creates a healing aerosol.
