Kaszownik, Medieval water reservoir in Mokre district, Toruń, Poland.
The Kaszownik consists of a large artificial pond with stone embankments located near the historic city center of Toruń.
The Teutonic Knights constructed this water reservoir in the 14th century after redirecting the Toruń Stream through an artificial channel to the city.
The reservoir supported numerous water-powered workshops, including flour mills, dyeing facilities, and fulling mills that shaped the industrial heritage of Toruń.
The water system regulated through locks at its western end serves as a water storage facility for the city's defensive moats and industrial needs.
Originally divided into Upper and Lower Ponds, the smaller Upper Pond section was filled in during the 1970s for street expansion.
