Henry’s Tower

Henry’s Tower
About

Henry’s Tower (Jindřišská věž) is the tallest freestanding bell tower in Prague, rising 67.7 meters above the New Town skyline. Built in the late 15th century beside the Church of St. Henry and Kunhuta, it has survived war damage, storms, and centuries of architectural evolution. Restored in neo-Gothic style by Josef Mocker in the 19th century and modernized in 2001, the tower now blends historic charm with contemporary amenities. Visitors ascend ten floors via elevator or stairs to reach a panoramic observation deck offering sweeping views of Prague. Inside, the tower houses a café, whiskey bar, restaurant, and exhibitions on Prague’s towers and bell-making traditions. A digitally operated carillon of ten bells plays hourly melodies, adding a musical dimension to the experience. Located on Jindřišská Street, which links three major city squares, Henry’s Tower is a lesser-known gem that combines Gothic architecture, cultural heritage, and modern leisure in one vertical journey through Prague’s layered history.

Location

Henry’s Tower, also known as Jindřišská Tower, is the tallest freestanding bell tower in Prague, located at Jindřišská 2122/33 in the New Town, just a short walk from Wenceslas Square and near the Church of St. Henry and St. Kunhuta. This late Gothic landmark, completed in 1476, stands 65.7 meters tall and features ten floors accessible by elevator or stairs. The tower houses a café, the Zvonice restaurant on the upper floors, exhibition spaces, and the Prague Tower Museum, which highlights the city’s numerous towers. At the top, a 360-degree observation deck offers sweeping views over Prague’s historic center, including sights like the Žižkov Television Tower, Petřín Hill, and Prague Castle. Jindřišská Street, where the tower stands, connects three major squares—Wenceslas, Charles, and Senovážné—making it a convenient stop for visitors exploring central Prague. The Jindřišská tram stop is just outside, and nearby attractions include the bustling shops and cafés of Wenceslas Square and the historic Old Town.
