This lookout tower is located at 208 m above sea level and is the second lowest placed lookout tower in the Czech Republic.
It is an interesting example of Czech functionalism from 1935 and was named after Václav Kratochvíl (1820-1893), who owned an estate in nearby Lounky, was engaged in local, regional and national politics and held various offices.
