Water tower of Markovilla, Observation tower and regional cultural heritage site in Vyborg, Russia

The Water Tower of Markovilla features strong stone walls with decorative elements, reaching upward from its base at Kirovskie Dachi along Svetogorskoye Shosse.

Engineer L.V. Glushkov designed this Romanesque Revival water tower in 1913, incorporating it into the water supply infrastructure of early twentieth-century Vyborg.

The Committee for Culture of the Leningrad Oblast recognized the tower's architectural value through official orders issued in December 2015 and November 2020.

Visitors access the structure from its location at coordinates 60.731948 latitude and 28.762786 longitude, where they can climb to observe the surrounding landscape.

The water tower functions both as a water distribution point and an observation platform, making it a central element in the Markovilla estate complex.
