The tower was built after 1847 on the site of one that had collapsed from the Baroque castle. You climb it without a guide or a reservation and, in good weather, you can see the Vltava valley, the ponds of South Bohemia and České Budějovice in the distance. It is the option for anyone who does not want a long guided tour.
