The new building, the "Little Onion", stands on the site of the former observation tower on the Galgenberg near Oloví (Bleistadt), which was destroyed in the Second World War. The current observation tower is 30 metres high and has an observation dome in the shape of an onion. It was built in 2015 according to the design of the architect Marcela Plachá. The tower offers a view of the Ore Mountains, the Slavkov Forest and the Karlovy Vary region.
