Historical outline:

Former name: Eisersdorf

A tower in Żelazno arose probably at the end of the XVth cent., but we do not know anything about its builder. It was subsequently reconstructed in 1727. There is a hypothesis which says that current windows were target ranges originally, so the tower did not fulfill a residential function.
