Depicted musical clock decorates the front facade of the Baroque Tetín Chateau, built in the 2nd half of the 18th century, which is one of landmarks of historic village Tetín. The clock is playing every hour (9:00-19:00) melody of song "Nad Berounkou pod Tetínem".
Late Baroque building of Tetín Chateau, built in the 2nd half of the 18th century, is one of landmarks of historic village Tetín.
The chateau building is elongate rectangular structure with central avant-corps finished by triangular gable with clock. The chateau, several times reconstructed, changed often owners. The most important chateau's owner was Vojácek family (19th century), whose members were respected patriots and organised here often meetings of leading figures of the Czech national revival. Nowadays the chateau is once again in the hands of the last pre-WWII owners, the Duras family, and serves as HQs of manor farm estate "Velkostatek Tetín Ltd.".
