Letenský kolotoč, Historical carousel in Holešovice, Czech Republic.

Letenský kolotoč is a carousel housed in its original Neo-Renaissance wooden pavilion, a regular twelve-sided structure with a span of 12 metres, plank infill and a pyramidal roof with twelve hips topped by a lantern at 7.7 metres. The ride turns on a 7.6-metre turntable set on a vertical shaft, surrounded by a fixed 1.6-metre floor.

The carousel was built in 1892 and ranks among Europe's oldest continuously operating rides. It gained protected monument status in 1991.

The horses carry names such as Blesk, Flora, Poly and Šemík, and four of them still have their original saddles and bridles. Three papier-mâché knights in silver paint decorate the central column, and the four cars are modelled on the Aero 30.

The ride operates during warmer months, typically from spring through summer. Tickets can be purchased directly at the location when you arrive to use the carousel.

The horses are covered in real horsehide stuffed with straw, with wooden hooves and glass eyes. Only four keep their original saddles and bridles: Blesk, Flora, Poly and Šemík. The central column carries three knights in papier-mâché armour painted with silver.
