Water Supply Station "Las Gdański " in Bydgoszcz, Gothic Revival water pumping station in Bydgoszcz, Poland.
The water supply station is a Gothic Revival structure in Bydgoszcz built with brick walls, plastered wall panels, and decorative stained glass windows throughout. The building combines administrative offices with operational equipment areas in a single unified complex.
The structure was built in 1900 under architect Carl Meyer's direction as the city's primary water pumping facility. It served as the main source of water distribution for the city for nearly four decades.
The building displays brick facades with detailed stained glass windows and carved woodwork that reflect the craftsmanship valued in early 1900s construction. These decorative elements show how much the city invested in making functional infrastructure also beautiful and dignified.
The station sits on Gdanska Street with clear surroundings that make it easy to locate and approach. Visiting requires checking current opening hours as access depends on the operations of the associated museum located within the complex.
In 2012 the facility was transformed into the Waterworks Museum, offering displays about water management systems and environmental conservation. This conversion allows visitors to explore the technical history of urban water supply within the original building where it once operated.
