Ninety-six feet tall, so-called Gothic tower, built in the style of pointed arches and with an artificially built stone spiral staircase providing surprisingly vast vistas. The interior of the tall hall is adorned with the statue of the field marshal Karl, Prince of Schwarzenberg.
A unique structure, also called Rozhledna (Lookout Tower), is situated on the highest point of the park, 350 metres above sea level on the edge of Velká louka (Great Meadow). The building was initiated in 1793, and Jan Rudolf Czernin, the founder of the park and owner of Krásný Dvur Mansion, is believed to have taken part in its design.
