Old Water Tower, Water tower and cultural monument in Tábor, Czech Republic.

The Old Water Tower features late 19th-century construction methods, incorporating local stone and traditional masonry techniques characteristic of South Bohemian architecture.

Built in the second half of the 19th century, this tower functioned as part of a larger waterworks complex until modern infrastructure developments replaced its original purpose.

The structure maintains its status as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic, representing technical innovations and architectural developments of industrial heritage.

The tower contains multiple levels with dedicated spaces, including a meeting hall, library, and observation areas equipped with a periscope for celestial viewing.

A Foucault pendulum installation in the main staircase foyer demonstrates the Earth's rotation, connecting scientific education with historical preservation.
