Beautiful interior of medieval tower with several storeys serving for guests and also as gallery space is unique also by special systém of delivery of drinks and meals - hand operated microelevator going through middle of the tower (sometimes table) in every storey. Friedly service, broad offer of coffee, tea, sweets and light meals... One of the most beautiful (and most original) coffee shop which I visited...
Gothic tower of the Prague' Gate (Pražská brána), the best preserved element of medieval fortification of town Melník, was built in the second half if the 13th century and nowadays serves as art-gallery and tea-room. The gate, one of two and only remaining entrance gate of town' fortification, was reconstructed several times (1536, 1562, 1653, 1799, 1836, and 1920).
