The astronomical clock at Prague’s Old Town Square will be stopped on Monday for three weeks due to repairs to the tower. Workers will be redoing the plaster on the tower of the Old Town Hall, which has problems with dampness and affects the machine and dust from the work would otherwise damage the clock. The work is expected to be completed and the clock reset on April 24.
One of the many legends around the astronomical clock says that catastrophe awaits if the machine is stopped. Fortunately, three previous repairs in the last 20 years have seen so such problem.
