In good weather, there was a queue at the tower, like in a mausoleum under Soviet rule, and 5 people were allowed there. It was possible to get to the tower due to cloudy weather. There was almost no queue! Inside the tower there is a spiral staircase of 190 steps. The height of the tower is 35 meters. There is a version that it was originally a sugar factory pipe, but I have doubts about it: why would a small sugar factory built 200 years ago need such a gigantic pipe; why build a sugar factory right in the park, just three hundred meters from the palace, and even with a huge smoking pipe; why pipe It is decorated throughout its height with rings of colored bricks and ornaments at the top, and why windows are made in it... And the view from the tower to Gomel and the surrounding area is gorgeous! And another interesting observation: there was no wind at all below, but it was very strong above.

A cool place in the park. The observation tower is 40 meters high, and the city and the Sozh River are clearly visible from its top. You can take good photos. The staircase is spiral and narrow. It has 133 or 193 steps In different sources in different ways. The ticket price for the end of August 2025 was 4.5 rubles. To get up, you need to take a queue. 6 people go up. I recommend you to visit.

There are exactly 192 steps, I counted them! The stairs are very narrow, so it's difficult for two people to separate, and it's also quite stuffy inside. It seems to me that if your health is not very good or your age is not small, then you should not crawl there. The observation deck is very small, although the view of Sozh and part of the city is not bad. I was climbing in the rain, so I was a little unlucky, but there weren't many people, and I didn't have to wait for those who were already upstairs to come down.
