Water tower in Toruń-Kluczyki, Modern water tower in Torun, Poland.
Description
The Water tower in Torun-Kluczyki is a concrete structure featuring a high observation deck and two water tanks, each with a 300 cubic meter capacity. Four residential floors are located beneath the storage containers.
History
Construction took place between 1941 and 1943 under Nazi oversight, with British and Soviet prisoners doing the building work. The structure survived the Battle of Torun in 1945 and still bears visible marks from artillery fire.
