Novomlýnská vodárenská věž, Baroque water tower in New Town, Czech Republic
The Novomlýnská Water Tower rises above the right bank of Vltava River, featuring cylindrical shape and architectural elements from the 17th century Baroque period.
Built in 1658 on remnants of a Renaissance structure destroyed by flooding, this tower supplied water to lower New Town Prague until 1877.
The tower contains a multimedia exhibition about Prague fires, displaying the evolution of firefighting methods through videomapping and virtual reality installations.
Visitors can access the tower daily from April to September between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with regular admission at 150 CZK.
The tower's wooden pipe system transported water from the Vltava River to elevated tanks, distributing it to city fountains and residences below.
