Depicted two classical clocks, with black dials, gilded Roman numerals and hands, are located on clock tower of the neo-Gothic chateau in town Zruc nad Sázavou.
Recently reconstructed Chateau Zruc, housing town hall, infocentre, chateau exposition, look-out tower and two museums, is together with the adjacent park the principal landmark and main touristic target of small town Zruc nad Sázavou. The current appearance of the three-winged chateau with distinctive prismatic clock tower is a result of the principal neo-Gothic reconstruction of more than 700 years old castle. This rebuilding, held in years 1891-1894, was financed by Chateau' last private owners - noble family Schebek.
