Description

The Old Water Supply Tower is a fascinating technical monument in Bautzen that served as the city's water supply system for more than 400 years (1558-1965).

Today it houses a technical museum showcasing the evolution of technology. The original water wheel has been replaced by a turbine that generates electricity from the water of the Spree River on a small scale.

Climbing 184 steps to the viewing platform, you can enjoy a breathtaking panorama of the rooftops of Bautzen and the Lusatian Hills. It's the perfect place for history buffs, photography enthusiasts and families looking for an educational experience.
