Perched on the edge of the Schlossberg hill and park, the Graz Clock Tower (Grazer Uhrturm) stands as a distinctive landmark in Austria’s second-largest city. This historic tower, crowned with a neat triangular roof, features a wooden gallery that once served as a lookout for fire volunteers. Its four clock faces, each with a unique design, display time in an unconventional manner: the long hand indicates the hours, while the short hand marks the minutes. Today, visitors can admire the tower’s architectural charm and enjoy panoramic views of Graz from its elevated position.
