About
The Uhrturm is a historic 29‑metre tower perched on Graz’s Schlossberg, famed for its massive clock faces whose hour hands are longer than the minute hands, a quirk that has intrigued visitors since the 17th century. Its 1712 clockwork still ticks, with three bells that rang for centuries. Visitors can wander freely at any time of day, enjoying panoramic vistas of Graz, the surrounding gardens, and the picturesque Glockenspiel of the city. A stroll to the tower is a blend of architectural marvel, local legend, and unforgettable cityscape.
