The lookout tower was built for the Provincial Jubilee Exhibition in 1891 on the initiative of the founders of the Czech Tourist Club: Dr. Vilém Kurz and arch. V.V. Kurz and Vratislav Pasovský. For the construction of the tower, inspired by the design of the Parisian tower by Ing. Eiffel tower, the Petřín hill and the site at an altitude of 318 m above sea level were chosen.
