Hopwood Clock Tower
New Zealand
The 186th tallest tower in the world
The Hopwood Clock Tower, also known as the Palmerston North Clock Tower or Kerei Te Panau, is a clock tower in the centre of the Square in Palmerston North, New Zealand. The tower is named after local businessman Arthur Hopwood, who paid for it to be constructed in 1953. The Māori name for the clock tower, 'Kerei Te Panau', comes from the name of a local Rangitāne chieftain. The modern tower has two luminous features, a 'lantern cross' at its top and light-up glass panes at the base.
