Old Water Tower, Water tower and cultural monument in Tábor, Czech Republic.
The Old Water Tower is a late 19th-century structure built with local stone and traditional masonry methods typical of South Bohemian construction. Inside are multiple levels containing meeting spaces, library areas, and viewing platforms.
Built in the second half of the 19th century, this tower was part of Tábor's water supply system. Modern infrastructure eventually made its original function obsolete, but it was preserved as a monument.
The tower sits at the heart of Tábor's evolution and shows how the city pushed forward with technical progress. Visitors can see today how earlier generations brought water to the city and changed daily life in the process.
The tower is open to visitors with viewing points offering city views and surroundings. Wear comfortable shoes since climbing stairs is needed to reach the upper levels.
A Foucault pendulum in the stairwell demonstrates Earth's rotation and connects science with history. This experiment displays in simple terms a phenomenon many visitors observe for the first time.
