Mlíkárna, Observation tower in Riegrovy sady, Czech Republic.

Mlíkárna is an observation tower in Riegrovy sady park consisting of a stone base with an external staircase leading to a rooftop observation platform. The structure provides views across Prague's historic center and castle from above.

The rooftop lookout was added in the 1820s to the late Classical garden of the Kanálka estate of Josef Emanuel Malabaila de Canal. The name Mlíkárna comes from a dairy shop selling milk and yoghurt from Baron Frey's Vysočany dairy, which operated here until 1956. After decades as a garden store and ruin, Jakub Vakoč bought the building in 2002 and reopened it as a restaurant and viewing pavilion in 2009.

The name Mlíkárna means dairy in Czech, reflecting its past as a shop serving milk and refreshments to park visitors until 1956. This everyday function remains part of how locals remember and refer to the place.

The rooftop platform is reached by an external staircase of 29 steps. It is open daily during the restaurant's opening hours, free of charge. The view is heavily limited by mature trees, so expect only partial glimpses of the surroundings.

The rooftop platform is a surviving lookout from the Kanálka garden of Josef Emanuel Malabaila de Canal, taken over when the late Classical restaurant building was erected. The name Mlíkárna comes from a dairy shop selling milk and yoghurt from Baron Frey's Vysočanská dairy, which ran here until 1956.
