点评:The Graz Clock Tower is 28 meters tall (91.9 feet) and its clock faces are over 5 meters in diameter (over 16.4 feet).
The core of Graz's clock tower presumably dates back to the 13th century, making it one of the oldest buildings on the Schloßberg. It acquired its current form during the 1569 reconstruction, with the installation of the first clock with three large clock faces. Above the clock faces, a wooden walkway runs around the tower, from which the fire watchmen could overlook the entire city center. In 1712 the fourth clock face was added, along with a new clock mechanism.
Unlike today, the hour hand is the larger hand, as it was more important to be able to read the hours accurately from a distance.
From the square below the tower there is a winding stair (called "stairs to heaven") that allows reaching to the tower base. The nearby lift to the castle does NOT bring you to the tower.

格拉茨钟楼的核心部分可能可以追溯到13世纪,是城堡山最古老的建筑之一。它在1569年的重建过程中形成了现在的形态,当时安装了第一座拥有三个大型钟面的钟。钟面上方有一条环绕塔楼的木质步道,消防员可以从那里俯瞰整个市中心。1712年,第四座钟面被添加,同时还配备了新的时钟装置。
与今天不同,当时的时针更大,因为在当时,能够从远处准确读取时间更为重要。
从塔楼下方的广场有一段蜿蜒的楼梯(被称为“通往天堂的楼梯”)可以到达塔基。附近的城堡电梯无法到达塔楼。
