Facts and practical information

The Wasserkunst is a tower of the medieval city fortifications of the city of Naumburg in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.

The tower, which stands directly on the Wenceslas Wall, was built around 1480 from quarry stone masonry on a square ground plan. After the abandonment of the city fortifications for defensive purposes, it was converted into a water art in the 17th/18th century with the simultaneous installation of a water collection basin.

The tower has three brick floors and a fourth, which is a plastered half-timbered structure. The windows were widened to allow residential use. The tower is crowned by a hipped roof. On the east side of the tower there is a passage through the Wenceslas Wall.
