Vodárna, Technical monument and waterworks in Cihelny, Czech Republic.

Vodárna is a massive cylindrical functionalist water tower in Jaroměř-Cihelny, built in 1927–1928 to a design by František Janda, a pupil of Jan Kotěra. Its 400 m³ tank sits 20 metres up, carried on twelve cylindrical columns, and is topped by a conical copper roof with four round dormers. The tower is not open to the public.

The original Jaroměř water supply, built in 1882–1887, fed street pumps from a plant by the Chapel of St. Anne and a nearby spring. The new supply, designed by Jan Vladimír Hráský with the tower's architecture by František Janda, a pupil of Jan Kotěra, was built in 1927–1928. The tower operated until 1985, when water began arriving from the reservoir near Zaloňov.

The tower is a functionalist technical monument, listed as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic in 1984. Its name, Vodárna, simply means waterworks, and the building is not open to the public; it is seen from outside in the Cihelny district of Jaroměř.

The tower is not open to the public, so it can only be viewed from the outside. It stands in the Cihelny district of Jaroměř, and the cylindrical shaft with its ring of twelve columns and the copper roof with four round dormers are visible from the street.

The tower is not open to the public, but its silhouette can be seen from outside: a cylindrical shaft rising to a widened tank 20 metres up, holding 400 m³, from which water flowed downhill through Jaroměř by gravity until 1985.
