Sitkovska Vez - Water Tower 1 - Prague - Water Towers on Waymarking.com

Water tower was built in 1495 and after only 6 years, a fire has destroyed it. Next one stayed until 1588 when the tower burnt again together with the neighbouring mills. The frequent fires was because in winter inside the tower had to be a temperature over freezing point to avoid water freezing in the reservoirs - and of course inside heating was by open fireplace. In 1591 was tower finaly built from stones and stays up to this days.

The tower survived attack from the Swedesh in 1648. You can still find their cannon ball in the tower's wall. At 18th century the tower got a new baroque top.

Water tower was in function to 1913 and ditributed water into public fountains.
