Water tower at Karłowice in Wrocław, Water tower in Karłowice, Wrocław, Poland.
The 63-meter water tower features a medieval castle design with intricate stone carvings, bas-reliefs, and a substantial observation platform at its summit.
Built between 1914 and 1915, the water tower served as a military observation point during the 1945 Siege of Breslau and survived heavy bombardment.
The tower's base displays detailed stone carvings and medieval-style bas-reliefs depicting winged creatures created by sculptors Taschner and Bednorz.
The water tower maintained water pressure for southern districts of Wrocław until the 1980s, with employee apartments located in the building's foundation.
From the observation deck, visitors could view the Sudety Mountains 100 kilometers away, with a red flag indicating optimal viewing conditions.
