The paper deals with the construction of Taub-Nut vacuum solutions of Einstein's equations with U(1) as isometry group. These solutions are more general than ordinary Taub-Nut solutions with SU(2)\(\times U(1)\) as the group of isometries. The solutions in question have a Killing horizon and may be parametrized by a pair of arbitrary real functions on \(S^ 2\).
