The tower looks old, it's interesting to see. I spent the whole day in Grodno. It is a very beautiful, modern city. There are many historical buildings and streets. Surprisingly, the historical center has not been extensively rebuilt. I recommend visiting the city, one day is not enough for a thoughtful tour.
We are very pleased with our visit to this museum! Small groups and amazing guides! Everyone is attentive and friendly! And of course a wonderful view of the city from the fire tower. There are several nuances. If you come in and the door is closed, most likely there is a guided tour. Tickets can only be purchased by bank transfer. Transfer to the account of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Or run to the bank to pay the bill. But it's better to call in advance.
An interesting tourist spot in the city center. If you will be in Grodno, be sure to visit. Every day at 12 o'clock a trumpeter goes to the upper tier of the tower and plays a melody. It is better to look from the bridge that leads to the Old and New Castles, or from the opposite side of the street.
A landmark not only of the city, but also of the country as a whole, which is worth visiting for both adults and children at least once. At 12:00, a trumpeter plays on the bell tower, different melodies according to the days of the week. There is also a museum of the history of firefighting. Interesting
Everything is very cool, despite the lack of greenery due to the time of year! One can only imagine how cool it is from mid-April to October - November! And you definitely need to hear the trumpeter's signal on the observation deck of the fire tower!
A city landmark. A landmark place in the city of Grodno. They say that every day at some time, a bugler comes out and plays the trumpet (if I'm not confusing, of course :). I was passing through the other day, they decorated it beautifully, illuminated both the column and the typewriter. An atmospheric place, beautiful photos are obtained.. :)
One day in Grodno is too little, at least 3-4 days and always with a guide. The city is full of amazing history. Someone just wandering through the streets will not understand anything, others, after hearing the story and walking thoughtfully through the streets, will fall in love with Grodno.
A tall, beautiful and very elegant tower! There is a museum of firefighting in the building, but we did not get there, we were walking past on a guided tour. There are many images of people of different professions on the pediment (look for familiar faces, the artist did his best)). But they couldn't deny themselves the pleasure of listening to the trumpeter! Very poetic and romantic. Truth. Listen up. They say that the melodies are always different, maybe you will have another one with a different mood, I don't know.
Unfortunately, the video doesn't fit for about a minute and a half....
An interesting history of the fire tower, with ventilation. Every day at noon, a firefighter gets up and plays a 2-3 mile tune, which means: Everything is quiet in the city. The mural with the rescuers, the last girl on the right looks like the Mona Lisa. There is a fire truck with a firefighter, great photos! Nearby there is a synagogue, parking, Bakst restaurant.
A beautiful stone building. There is a small Easter egg on the mural, I advise you to look at it more closely.
Every morning at 12:00 p.m., a trumpeter goes out to the tower, who informs the city that everything is calm. Be sure to listen! It only lasts a couple of minutes, but the tradition is incredibly beautiful.
An interesting historical building, next to the Old Castle, a mysterious mural on the facade (pay attention to the woman's face), parking for transport nearby, but it is almost always full.
The tower is 32 meters high, an interesting symbol of the city of Grodno. The former fire tower served as the main point of the local firefighters. Every day at 11:58 a trumpeter comes out and plays the trumpet.
An interesting building that allows you to feel the time. The most interesting thing is that at 12:00 a bugler is blowing on the tower. People are going to watch, listen, and generally see the surrounding ancient neighborhoods. You must watch and listen.
The fire tower in Grodno is one of the main attractions. It is not only her appearance and the magnificent panel dedicated to firefighters that attracts the attention of tourists. And most importantly, the daily ritual that takes place on top of this tower. Every day, at 12 o'clock, a trumpeter, in a beautiful uniform, goes out on the balcony of the tower and plays some piece of music. I've heard that the melodies are always different. A huge crowd gathers long before this action and at the end of the ritual accompanies the musician with applause. I recommend that everyone who comes to Grodno definitely appreciate the trumpeter's playing!
The old tower is quite picturesque and beautiful, there are many interesting stories, it is worth visiting for a general understanding of the local flavor, it is beautiful and pleasant to be near the history

The highlight of Grodno is attractive and memorable to everyone who saw this engineering and architectural structure for the first time.
The location, walking accessibility and the intersection point of many tourist routes make this object particularly memorable.
It is beautiful and functional at any time of the day and a little bit - a real decoration of the city!
A wonderful attraction! At 11:58 a.m., a trumpeter appeared in a beautiful uniform - a golden helmet, a tunic, white gloves, and played, quite cleanly, some kind of tune similar to the anthem of a small country.
It's a very beautiful city, it's just fascinating) The people in the city are friendly, everyone is happy to see each other, the residents of Grodno are ready to tell a lot about the city, it's very cool and purposeless) I recommend everyone to visit this attraction and many others...)
An interesting historical object, a worthy museum, a great guide Irina Kachan, who not only conducts excursions, but also knows a lot about the history of firefighting. You need to sign up.
The building, inscribed in the architecture of old Grodno, is interesting. There are excellent murals on the facade. Unfortunately, it was not possible to get inside, it was closed.
The tower is very interesting, it is one of the sights of Grodno. It and the building of the adjacent fire station should be carefully considered. Especially what is drawn. It is better to approach the tower at 11.55 and stay late. Then at 12.00 you will see and hear something (surprise)!!!
We didn't get to the train station, it was a day off on Monday, and we were told by phone that we had to make an appointment in advance. It is a pity that there is no information about this anywhere.
Fire column in Grodno: a symbol of history and a reminder of the importance of safety
A visit to Grodno cannot be complete without getting acquainted with its historical heritage, and the fire column is a vivid example of this. A small but important part of the city's history, it reminds us of a time when we had to rely on simple but effective equipment to fight fire.
The column looks very atmospheric, and its location in the city center adds charm. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that it is still functional! This is a reminder of how important it is to be prepared for any situation and not forget about safety.
I recommend all tourists to visit this interesting landmark and immerse themselves in the atmosphere of Grodno.
Grodno is a beautiful old European city, prices in cafes and restaurants are Moscow, coffee is expensive everywhere, but the taste is different)) there is an old fortress nearby (in fact, a new model, there is nothing to see there ((( very weak. And the museum, the museum is even worse, no historical value!!
A beautiful creature. Thanks to the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Belarus for maintaining it in proper condition. The point of attraction in the City. I really liked the city. Well done, Grodno residents!!!
In addition to the tower, which is especially noteworthy at night, when lights are lit on it, the area itself is notable with many cafes and squares where you can listen to live music and drink craft beer and spirits in the dzichka bar.
Seen only from the outside. Inside excursions are extremely rare. They didn't hear the musician either, because they were in another place at that moment.
A tower, like a tower. You can watch it once. It was a good idea, every day at 12.00 a trumpeter in an old firefighter's uniform performs different melodies. By this time, tourists are gathering and here is a good attraction. I liked the expression of a local "blogger", that there is a legend in the city that you can climb this tower, but no one knows how to do it. I tried to find out in the surrounding retail outlets and in the fire department office how to get to the site, everywhere there is one answer - the stairs are in disrepair, climbing the tower is prohibited. The highlight of the official statements was the fact that just at that time I observed 5-6 people walking on the platform of the tower, but most likely they were the souls of former fire chiefs.
It is a very beautiful technical building. It is especially beautifully decorated on New Year's holidays. At 12.00, a trumpeter goes to the tower and blows a trumpet - a tribute to tradition and a performance for tourists.
In 1885, a terrible tragedy occurred that deprived almost the entire city of housing - the largest fire in the entire history of the city, which Grodno residents still remember…
And every day at exactly 12 p.m., a trumpeter blows here on this tower as a sign that everything is calm in the city! And it plays different tunes every day!
If you are in Grodno, set a route so that you will be nearby at 12:00
The building itself and its history are very interesting, but... According to tradition, every day at 12 o'clock in the afternoon, a trumpeter rises to the observation deck of the tower and performs a small musical piece, but.... Alas, I did not see any of this
It is a very beautiful and monumental structure!!! Be sure to look carefully at the mural on the facade of the building and pay attention to the woman's face.....Does it remind you of anyone?!
