The Renaissance tower, which originally functioned as a watchtower and belfry, stands an impressive 71.9 meters tall. It features five bells and a classic clockwork mechanism. Climbing its 225 stairs, which ascend a height of 45 meters, is a bit of a workout, but the reward is a breathtaking panoramic view of České Budějovice and its charming surroundings.
This iconic structure isn't just about the views, though. It's steeped in history and has played a significant role in the town's past. As you make your way up, take a moment to appreciate the intricate details of the architecture and imagine the stories these walls could tell. Whether you're a history buff or just love a good view, this tower is a must-see.
