Town Hall Tower, Znojmo, Czech Republic - Unique Steeples on Waymarking.com

Old Town Hall in Znojmo was built in 1260, but during great fire in 1444 it burned down. During construdtion of a new Town Hall it was decided to build the new Tower as a separate building from the town Hall. The Tower was built in 1445-1448 by Mikulaš from Sedlešovic in late Gothic style. The tOwer has height about 80 meters (263 ft). Most intersting part of the tower is the "steeple" roof, which unique design testifies to high end work of medieval carpenters. Most of the beams of the roof frame are still the original ones from 14 th century. The roof was for a long time covered with a slate. Later it was coered with copper plates.
Most admirable is, however,architectural design of the steeple - interpenetrative prisms and spires. Eight small spirelets in the corners of the lower and upper part of the steeple are rotated at 90 degrees. On the top of the Tower is a tall slender spire.

Location of the Steeple: Radniční ulice (street) Znojmo, Czech Republic Approximate Date of Construction: 1448 Website: [Web Link]
