Water tower in Ełk, Water tower and museum in Ełk, Poland
The brick water tower rises above the urban landscape of Ełk, featuring multiple floors dedicated to exhibitions about water and regional history.
Constructed in 1895, this industrial structure provided water distribution services to the city of Ełk for 80 consecutive years until modern waterworks replaced it.
The Association of German Minority 'Mazury' maintains a specialized library containing German literature collections within the tower's premises.
Located at 11 Listopada Street, the museum displays old fire engines, antique bottles, demijohns, and historical photographs documenting Ełk's development.
The structure houses the Waterdrop Museum, which combines water-related exhibits with vintage firefighting equipment displayed on the adjacent square.
