Vinohrady Water Tower

The beautiful water tower in the Neo-Renaissance style was built by the then independent town of Královské Vinohrady in 1882 according to the project of the architect Antonín Turk. The tower was part of the Vinohrady water supply system, which consisted of an old waterworks in Podolí, underground reservoirs, a pumping station and a tower reservoir on Korunní třída. The Vinohrady water tower on a square floor plan, 40 meters high, has seven floors. The latter is covered by a terrace, which previously served as a sought-after lookout tower. In 1962, the gas station was decommissioned and the tower was rebuilt into apartments. In 1991, the building was declared a cultural monument. Two years later, the reconstruction took place and the sculptural decoration on the tower was restored. At the top of the tower are the corner pylons and the emblem of Královské Vinohrady. Between the windows of the top floor is a tower clock with Roman numerals on all four sides. They are operated by an electrically controlled Hainz mechanism, renovated during a complete renovation of the façade in 1993.
