Water tower in Giżycko, Water tower in Giżycko, Poland
The water tower features a characteristic dome that contained a zinc plate tank designed to store 200 cubic meters of water for the city.
Built in 1900 in Gothic revival style, this industrial structure provided running water to the residents of Giżycko until its system reconstruction in 1996.
The tower exhibits two distinct crests above its entrance, representing Mazuria region and local cities, differentiating it from other East Prussian structures.
Visitors can access the observation deck via 129 steps or elevator, with varying opening hours from 10 AM depending on the season.
The structure now houses a local history museum displaying photographs and documents, alongside a cafe serving refreshments at different levels.
