Znojmo Town Hall Tower, Gothic tower in Znojmo, Czech Republic.

The Znojmo Town Hall Tower is a Gothic structure with two observation galleries and fine stone carvings distributed across its slender facade. The construction combines functional design with decorative elements typical of medieval civic architecture.

Construction began on 17 July 1447, when the cornerstone was laid for a tower next to the town hall built in 1441–1442. The memorial inscription on the east wall names Master Nicholas of Sedlešovice (Edelspitz) as the builder; the masonry was finished in 1449 and the roof by 1457.

The tower displays medieval craftsmanship through its detailed stone carvings that visitors encounter while climbing. These details reflect a period when Znojmo was a prosperous trading city that expressed its importance through such structures.

Visitors can climb to the two galleries for views across the city and the surrounding South Moravian region. The climb is manageable for people with normal fitness, though the narrow staircase requires some persistence.

During World War II, a Soviet bomb hit the tower's roof but slid off, destroying the old town hall beneath it instead. The tower survived; the ruined hall was later replaced during the Communist era by a concrete department store.
