On the evening of August 28, a traditional bell-ringers' ceremony in Renaissance costumes takes place at the White Tower on the occasion of the feast of St. Augustine, patron saint of bells. This is a unique event on a national scale.

The procession and ceremony are free and open to the public.

About the venue: White Tower

Renaissance bell tower on the Great Square in Hradec Králové, built from Hořice sandstone between 1574 and 1581. At 72 metres it is the tallest landmark in the city. It houses the Augustin bell – the third largest historic bell in the Czech Republic – and Josef Božek's 1829 clock mechanism. Following a reconstruction in 2013–2015, the tower features an interactive audio-visual exhibition and panoramic views of the Krkonoše and Orlické hory mountains.
