Interesting facts about the Black Tower
HEIGHT 81.6m
Huge blocks of granite and sandstone were used for the construction . There are 226 steps leading to the Black Tower.
THE BELL
The Vondra bell was made in 1759. The height of the bell is 180 cm and the diameter is 195 cm. It is used exclusively for manual ringing.
CLOCK
The black dials of the tower clock are placed under the tower's walkway. Unlike today's clocks, they are fitted in such a way that the large hand shows the hours and the small hands show the minutes.
THE TOWER KEEPER
In the upper part of the tower lived the watchman, who announced the evening time with the sound of a trumpet.
The tradition of night trumpeting is preserved to this day with the help of sound technology in the tower.
