The Water Tower in Krapkowice is a 38-meter structure built in the years 1915-1917 by the Berlin-based Grave company to regulate the water pressure in the Krapkowice waterworks. The facility was built on a square plan, in an external form referring to the tradition of medieval defensive towers. It is a building made of unplastered brick, with a reinforced concrete dome crowning it. At the end of the 1970s, the facility ceased to fulfill its role when the pressure level in the water supply network began to be regulated by means of pumps. Currently, there is a tank for flushing filters on the water tower.
