Water tower in Zabrze, Water tower in Zabrze, Poland
The 46-meter high brick water tower features an octagonal shape with eight buttresses supporting a steel dome at its summit point.
Architect August Kind designed this infrastructure element in 1911 to supply water to multiple towns including Zaborze, Zabrze, Sośnica, Maciejów, and Makoszowy.
The structure represents the industrial development of Upper Silesia and stands as a symbol of early 20th-century municipal engineering in Poland.
A central staircase of 135 steps leads through the tower's core to the technical floor, which contains stained-glass windows beneath the dome.
The tower included residential quarters and office spaces in its lower three floors until 1985, when it transformed into an exclusively residential building.
