New Town Hall, Gothic town hall in New Town, Prague, Czech Republic

The New Town Hall features a tall prismatic tower rising 70 meters above Charles Square, with Renaissance windows and an observation gallery at the top.

The hall witnessed the first Prague defenestration in 1419 when Catholic councilors were thrown from windows, marking the start of the Hussite Revolution.

The medieval building complex includes multiple wings constructed between 1377 and 1416, displaying Gothic architecture with Renaissance modifications through different periods.

Visitors can reach the observation deck by climbing 221 steps, with the hall operating Tuesday through Sunday from April to November between 10:00 and 18:00.

The tower structure, completed between 1451 and 1456, served as a strategic observation point to detect fires and approaching enemy forces in medieval Prague.
