Filtry, Warsaw, Water purification complex in Ochota district, Warsaw, Poland
The Filtry complex spans across multiple streets including Koszykowa, Krzywickiego, Filtrowa, and Raszyńska, featuring water treatment facilities and historic brick buildings.
Engineer William Lindley designed this advanced water filtration system in 1886, commissioned by Warsaw Mayor Sokrates Starynkiewicz to modernize the city's infrastructure.
The facility stands as a testament to 19th-century industrial engineering, with its red brick architecture and granite details reflecting the period's construction methods.
The waterworks continue to process water through sand filters and modern purification systems, supplying clean water to Warsaw residents every day.
The complex incorporates a water tower and slow sand filters divided between Upper Town and Lower Town sections, using gravity for water distribution.
