    The late Gothic Henry Tower stands in the immediate vicinity of the Church of Saints Henry and Cunegonde. It is the tallest free-standing bell tower in Prague, reaching a height of 65.7 meters.

    Today, this landmark offers visitors a beautiful view of Prague from the tenth floor, a restaurant located directly in the bell tower, as well as a museum and a gallery. Another unique feature is the carillon, an ensemble of ten cast bronze bells in the attic of the tower, which can be heard inside.

    The tower, built in the 15th century, originally served as the bell tower for the neighboring church of Saint Henry and Cunegonde. Today it is a fascinating example of Gothic architecture and attracts numerous visitors.

    It is said that the Heinrich Tower has had several functions over the centuries. In addition to its role as a bell tower, it also served as a watchtower and even as a prison. The striking spire, which characterizes the cityscape of Prague today, is an impressive testimony to the architecture of that time.
