Bismarckova rozhledna, Observation tower in Pomezí nad Ohří, Czech Republic
The red brick tower rises 28 meters high with a square base measuring 13.77 meters on each side, featuring two viewing platforms at different heights.
Construction of the tower began in spring 1915 but experienced delays due to World War I, taking two years to complete under architect Hermann Hauke's direction.
The tower belongs to a network of 234 monuments built across Europe to honor Otto von Bismarck, the first Chancellor of unified Germany.
The tower welcomes visitors between April and October from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, offering access to observation platforms at 5 and 18 meters.
In 1944, the Wehrmacht used the tower as a military observation point, and a planned demolition in 1945 was prevented, preserving its structure.
