Facts and practical information

Water Tower No. 2 is a distinctive feature of Novosibirsk, Russia, serving not just as an architectural landmark but also as a testament to the city's historical development. This red-brick tower, constructed in 1915, stands as a classic example of industrial architecture from the early 20th century. It was designed to be part of the city's water supply system, which was crucial for Novosibirsk's rapid growth during that period.

Located at the intersection of Sovetskaya and Oktyabrskaya streets, Water Tower No. 2 reaches a height of 35 meters and is one of the few remaining structures of its kind in the region. Its cylindrical shape and conical roof are characteristic of water towers built in this era, and it remains a significant symbol of the city's urban heritage.

The tower was operational for several decades before it was eventually decommissioned. Despite no longer serving its original purpose, Water Tower No. 2 has been preserved as a cultural artifact, reflecting the industrial and technological progress of its time.
