The Prezydent winding tower, also known as Prezydent Shaft, is a former coal-mine headframe in Chorzów, Silesian Voivodeship, Poland, dating from 1932. The reinforced-concrete, single-strut tower stands about 42 metres tall and carries two rope sheaves 5.5 metres in diameter. It forms part of the Sztygarka complex, where surviving mine buildings are reused for hospitality and cultural events, and it lies on the Silesian Industrial Monuments Route.
