Wasserhebewerk Passek, Industrial pump building complex in Silheřovice, Czech Republic
The steam-powered pump facility includes a decorated chimney reaching 28.3 meters high with neo-Gothic elements and blind arch windows.
Between 1862 and 1863, the Rothschild family constructed this water pumping station near Charlottenhof to supply water to Julianka Tower.
The facility stands as a technical monument within the Czech Republic, representing 19th-century industrial engineering and water management systems.
The pump building underwent renovations in the 2000s, with only the original brick chimney maintaining its historical configuration from the 1800s.
The chimney features six rows of blind arch windows and circular windows, making it one of few preserved industrial chimneys from mid-19th century.
