Mudurnu Clock Tower

The square-based tower rises 12 meters high with wooden cladding and features automatic clocks on three sides: west, north, and south.

Built in 1891, the original wooden tower burned down in 1900, leading to the construction of a stone structure in 1905 using materials from Mudurnu Castle.

The reconstruction of the tower involved inmates from Mudurnu Prison, while a local blacksmith crafted the iron clock mechanisms for the structure.

Visitors can access the clock mechanisms through a 30-step wooden staircase that starts from the rectangular-framed door on the eastern side.

The tower houses a 185-kilogram bell at its top and stands as one of the first clock towers constructed in Anatolia.
