Hradec Králové
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.
