Depicted three classical clocks, with white dials, black hands and numerals, decorate bell-turret of neo-Renaissance building of County Court (Okresní soud) in town Benešov.
The Court building once housed the Town Hall, the original construction (end of the 16th century) of which, with its central tower, was rebuilt in 1820. The second floor with turret and clocks were added in 1898 and the facade acquired a neo-Renaissance appearance. The building has been the seat of court since 1859, when the town of Benesov set up the town hall in house N° 100 in the same square. The bell-turret' bell rings on the hour.
