The Clocktower is the tallest structure in Dunwall save for Dunwall Tower itself,[1] and a recognizable landmark in the city. It is the setting of the end of the first issue of Dishonored: The Peeress and the Price.
Description
The Clocktower is situated on the northern edge of the Estate District,[2] and stands out significantly among the estates of the city's nobility. The tower itself consists of a carved stone base upon which is mounted a large metal lattice-style of architecture holding the clock's mechanisms. The clock itself has four faces facing each directions and chimes every hour.[1] It can be seen from almost anywhere in Dunwall due to its elevated position.
In 1852, the Clocktower was blown up in a terrorist attack by the Rat Gang, using explosives and Bonecharms in an attempt to take out the Lord Protector and the Empress.[3]

- During Corvo Attano's time in the Estate District, the clocktower rings four times at regular intervals.
- The Clocktower's bell sound is a stock sound. It can be heard in the gameTeam Fortress 2 for Halloween maps.
- The Clocktower can be fully seen in the Void during the introduction of The Knife of Dunwall, None Like Her.
- On the 8th Day, Month of Darkness, 1851, roughly after the second hour in the morning,[1] Empress Emily Kaldwin climbed the Clocktower for the view it gave her of the surrounding city.[2]
- A Clocktower miniature can be found in the silvergraph studio inside Stilton Manor.
