Clock tower in Graz, Clock tower at Schlossberg hill, Graz, Austria
The Clock Tower stands 28 meters tall on Schlossberg hill, featuring a wooden gallery and three separate bells for different time signals.
The tower gained its current form in 1560 when builders added a wooden gallery that fire watchmen used to monitor the city below.
The clock mechanism displays an unusual design where the larger hand marks hours and the smaller one indicates minutes, contrary to standard practice.
Visitors can reach the Clock Tower by funicular railway, glass elevator, or stairs through pathways ascending the Schlossberg hill.
The tower contains three bells dating from different periods: 1382 for hours, 1450 for executions, and 1645 for fire alerts.
