Bolfánek, Observation tower in Chudenice, Czech Republic.

The 45-meter tower stands at the highest point of Chudenice, providing views across the surrounding landscape of the Plzeň Region.

Originally constructed as a church bell tower between 1722 and 1725, the structure was transformed into an observation tower in 1845 after the church demolition.

The tower preserves the memory of Saint Wolfgang, a bishop who stayed in this location during his journey from Prague in 983.

Visitors can access the tower from April through November, with extended opening hours during summer months from Tuesday through Sunday.

The structure remains the only preserved element of the former Saint Wolfgang Church, maintaining its position as a regional orientation point.
