Tower of the Deanery Church

The large tower of the Dean's Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in Písek, located at Bakaláře Square, stands 72 meters tall. Built in 1489 as a municipal watchtower, it originally housed a guard's apartment at a height of 42 meters. The tower was damaged by fire in 1555, and in the mid-19th century, its distinctive appearance was enhanced by the addition of four clock faces with inverted hands.

Visitors can climb to the gallery via a comfortable 210-step wooden staircase. Along the way, you will also see four modern bells with a combined weight of 3.3 tons. Due to the limited number of participants per tour, we recommend reserving your visit in advance at the Tourist information centre Písek.
