The building of Opava Town Hall called Hláska, without which Opava residents can hardly imagine their town, is the appointed centre of the town of Opava. Its 60 metre long slender tower proudly dominates the Upper Square.
The Hláska (Watchtower) is a symbol with which the town history is inherently connected. The tower from which watchmen would keep lookout for enemy armies or dangerous fi res was used as a town astronomical clock as well as a place to announce important events. Hláska received today’s look after the last general reconstruction in 1902–1903. Architect R. Srnetz perfectly combined seemingly un-combinable historic styles into one harmonic unit. The new Hláska housed an elegant coff ee bar and the Municipal Museum. During its reconstruction in 2006 the building was imparted with its original look from the early 20th century. Hláska Tower is open to the public periodically during the year. Information about opening hours can be obtained at the Opava Town Information Centre. When you visit the tower you can see the permanent exhibition about the building’s history in the tower interiors.
