Observation tower (rozhledna) at Děčínský Sněžník Mountain in the Bohemian Switzerland (České Švýcarsko) in North Bohemia, Czech Republic. The Neo-gothic tower designed by Dresden architect Karl Moritz Haenel was built in 1864 by Bohemian nobleman Prince Franz Anton von Thun und Hohenstein (František Antonín z Thunu a Hohensteina) as a triangulation point on the highest point in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains and later was used as an observation tower.
