Goethe View is the oldest look out tower in Karlovy Vary. Its construction is dated to time period of 1888-1889. The project was effected by famous architects Fellner and Hellmer. In 1918, the look-out tower was re-named to Stifter View, and after 2nd World War, to Stalin View. The actual name, i.e. Goethe View, comes from 1960. After partial reconstruction, the building was re-open for public again in 2002. At present, this look out tower is closed again, as the reconstruction work continue.
