About the trip

An Art Nouveau town hall on the lower square, built in 1902–1903 and the landmark of the whole of Rokytnice. It was designed by the Hollman and Krause firm from Vrchlabí, built by the local builder Josef Hájek and cost 159,701 Austrian crowns. Besides offices it once held flats, a savings bank, the municipal library and three prison cells.

Personal tip from us

It is not just a building – climb the tower. It is the only viewpoint in the town itself and the ridges are no substitute.

Tips

The tower is 37 metres tall and its gallery has been open to the public since 2018.
From the gallery you can see both squares and the ridges above the town.
The building work also regulated and covered the Huťský stream that ran through the site.
