Large pendulum. This was at a hotel that I stayed in during a visit to Sweden. It did not seem to have a driving mechanism, but perhaps I could not spot it. More impressive is the pendulum in the Taipei 100, once the tallest building on Earth. To read more about that, see: https://www.phase-trans.msm.cam.ac.uk/2005/t101/t101.html Some 600 tonnes of steel suspended from one of the highest floors in order to damp vibrations, both due to wind and earthquakes.
