Čechy pod Kosířem lookout tower

Čechy pod Kosířem lookout tower, Observation tower in Čechy pod Kosířem, Czech Republic.

The Čechy pod Kosířem lookout tower, also called Červená věž or Věžka, is a three-storey pseudo-Gothic structure of red brick built in 1843 in the castle park. It has an octagonal plan, stands 15 metres high, and is topped by a corbelled cornice with a sawtooth frieze and eight corner pinnacles.

The brick lookout tower was built in 1843 as part of the castle park laid out between 1839 and 1843 by Count Ervín Vilém Silva-Tarouca. It stands on a mound raised from earth left over after the castle greenhouse was built. In 2009 the castle and park passed to the Olomouc Region, which restored the whole grounds and reopened the tower to the public on 2 April 2016.

The tower is also called Červená věž (Red Tower) or Věžka, after its red bricks. It stands in the castle park laid out by Count Ervín Vilém Silva-Tarouca, and since its 2016 reopening it has been open to the public as part of the reconstructed park and chateau grounds.

The brick tower stands in the castle park of Čechy pod Kosířem, on a small hill raised from soil left over when the greenhouse was built. The park and tower belong to the Olomouc Region, which reopened the tower to the public on 2 April 2016 after repairs. In the 1990s it opened only during major cultural events.

The tower stands on a small hill raised artificially from soil left over after the castle greenhouse was built. Its red-brick name Červená věž (Red Tower) comes from that material, and the octagonal top is ringed by eight corner pillars above a dentilled cornice.
