Minaret in Lednice, Observation tower in Lednice, Czech Republic
The 62-meter tall tower features three galleries connected by a spiral stone staircase with 302 steps leading to the highest viewing platform.
The construction of the tower took place from 1797 to 1804, commissioned by Prince Alois Joseph I of Liechtenstein and designed by architect Josef Hardtmuth.
The minaret incorporates Islamic architectural elements with its arcade gallery, columns, and oriental decorations created by artists from Arab countries.
The tower offers views extending up to 90 kilometers, allowing visitors to see Vienna on clear days while exploring the Lednice-Valtice landscape.
The foundation required 500 wooden poles and 96 iron-clipped strings to distribute the weight evenly across the marshy ground.
