The White Tower, Bell tower in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic
The White Tower rises 72 meters above Hradec Králové, constructed from bright Hořice sandstone with a 10-by-10-meter base foundation.
Citizens of Hradec Králové funded the tower's construction through donations, with work beginning on July 7, 1574 and completing over six years.
The astronomical clock, installed in 1585 by Vavřinec from Prague, was later replaced with new clockwork designed by Josef Božek in 1829.
Visitors can access the tower daily from April through September between 9:00-12:00 and 13:00-17:00, with special night tours available by reservation.
The tower houses Augustin, the third largest historical bell in Czech Republic, weighing 8,000 kilograms with a diameter of 206 centimeters.
