The lookout tower, built in 1886-87, was named after Alexander Suchánek, who was responsible for its creation. It lost its original romantic appearance during World War II, when it was almost destroyed for strategic reasons. Its salvation became an advantageous position enabling the transmission of a television signal - in 1963 the torso of the tower was reconstructed into a transmitter with a freely accessible gallery. In 2008-09 it was reconstructed again, increased to 16.5 meters and the surrounding trees were cut down. From the new Alexandrovka there is a view of the surrounding villages, the hills of the Drahanská Highlands, Pálava and, with excellent visibility, the Alps.
