Limnigraph in Výtoň, Technical monument in Výtoň, Czech Republic.
The copper-domed limnigraph features a weather vane shaped like a dog's head and contains water level indicators on each of its four walls.
Built before World War I, this Art Nouveau structure served as a meteorological station with instruments measuring atmospheric pressure, temperature, and water levels.
The name Výtoň originates from the 14th-century practice of taxing timber transport, where raftsmen paid dues based on every twelfth log floating down the Vltava.
The device continues to record water levels through a tank system connected to the Vltava River, providing essential data for flood monitoring and river management.
Four clock faces on each side of the building display both time and water measurements, making it often mistaken for an ordinary street timepiece by pedestrians.
