Wieża widokowa na Biskupiej Kopie, Observation tower at Biskupska Kupa Mountain in Zlaté Hory, Czech Republic

Wieża widokowa na Biskupiej Kopie is an 18-meter observation tower on Biskupia Kopa, just across the Czech border near Zlaté Hory. The current tower, opened in 1898, replaced a wooden predecessor and was built as a truncated pyramid; its top once displayed a painted panorama with labeled peaks.

The first viewing platform was built in 1875, followed by a wooden tower in 1890 and the current stone structure completed in 1898. This progression reflects the growing importance of the site as a vantage point during the late Austro-Hungarian period.

The tower bears the name Kaiser Franz Josef Warte, honoring the 50th anniversary of Emperor Franz Josef's reign over the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This name reflects the region's historical ties to Austria-Hungary and shapes how locals understand the place.

Since 2024, entry to the tower is handled by an automated gate. A small buffet operates at the summit, and three of the four granite boundary posts marking the exchanged plot still stand near the tower.

The tower's patron, Emperor Franz Joseph I, later became awkward for the Moravian-Silesian Sudeten Mountain Society: after 1918 its bulletins rarely mentioned the tower because the name was poorly received in Czechoslovakia. A granite boundary marker from the 1928 land purchase survives, three of four posts.
