Water tower in Wismar

The rectangular brick structure rises from the Linden Garden, featuring tall windows and pointed arches characteristic of northern German architecture.

Originally constructed in the late 15th century, the tower transitioned from military defense to water supply management between 1882 and 1897.

The water tower represents the engineering capabilities of medieval Wismar and stands as a testament to the city's architectural developments.

Located at Bahnhofstraße in Wismar, the tower functions as a central point for visitors exploring the historical district of the city.

The tower sourced water from a nearby mill pond and worked in conjunction with a water system located in the market square.
