The late Gothic Henry Tower stands directly adjacent to the Church of Saints Henry and Cunigunde. It is the tallest freestanding 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 inside 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 tower's attic, designed for listening 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.
