Hidden story

A clock of workers

Olomouc's astronomical clock shows workers instead of saints.

Read the storyClose

Olomouc's astronomical clock was damaged at the end of the Second World War. In the 1950s it was rebuilt in socialist-realist style: instead of saints and kings, the figures that move at noon are workers, a chemist, a sportsman and a milkmaid, and the mosaics show farm work through the year.
