Weyrother's lookout

The romantic arbour on a rocky spur below the castle was built before the awaited visit of Emperor Franz I in 1812 as a part of a path leading along the bank of the Ohře River under the castle. It is named after a former hetman of the region, Johann vonWeyrother. The originally Empire circular pavilion with Ionic columns and a domed roof was probably rebuilt at a later time into an octagonal brick arbour with a pyramidal roof. A complete reconstruction of the arbour roof and floor tiling with the coat-of-arms of the town and lettering were commissioned by the Loket beautification society in 2005.
