This is a very special thing. It's (not astronomical) clock on Freedom square. Not like the beautiful orloj in Prague or Olomouc, no. This measures time in a very complicated way, the top is spinning and you can see some numbers and lines there. Due to celebration of resisting the swedish occupation (during 30yo war 365 years ago) the noon is at 11AM and it releases a marble you can catch and keep. It's a PROJECTILE and it symbolizes PEACE.
Also it gets a cover during New Year's eve and that blows me away definitely.😍😂https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/nostrcheck.me_7194406934760602921689856338.webp

nostr:note1dljh8f4zzv7q0qs7mjnas7646sy9xdtcwy3fqywz7szp8j7hh86sklt3zr There's also a running joke how to easily tell time from this. Stand towards your clock, your back to the tram rails, and walk backwards about thirty steps. Look to your left and check the time on St.Jacobs church there.
Bahahahaha
