In the film
The tower appears in the montage of Warsaw sights, filmed from the Novotel to its south-east.
History in brief
Built in 1952–55 as a “gift” from Stalin’s Soviet Union, the 237 m tower was Poland’s tallest building for over 60 years. Many Varsovians long disliked it as a symbol of Soviet control.
