Wrocław water tower, Water tower in Borek district, Wrocław, Poland
The brick structure rises 62.5 meters above ground with an observation deck at 42 meters and an octagonal water tank supported by nine pillars.
The water tower, designed by architect Karl Klimm, opened in 1905 to supply water to southern Wrocław residents and served as an observation point during 1945.
The tower incorporates sandstone sculptures by Taschner and Bednorz, including the Source Nymph and Triton fountain on the northeastern facade.
The first two floors contained apartments for technical staff while the main water tank sat in an octagonal section covered by a tent roof.
From 1908, staff raised a red flag at the top of the tower whenever weather conditions allowed clear views of the Sudety Mountains.
