After finishing the renovation
works in 2011, Daugavpils Fortress
Culture and Information Centre
was established in the former Water
Tower building. Once the building
that was built in 1865-1866 assured
water supply system for the whole
fortress. The vessel of 3000 buckets
in volume located in the building
was filled from three wells on the
bank of the River Daugava using a
steam-driven machine. The vessel
has been preserved till nowadays in
a very good condition, and till now it
is a part of the industrial heritage of
this building.
The centre offers the main
information on the fortress history,
current events and development
plans. Here one can see a small
exposition presenting historical
drawings, photos, military uniforms
and artefacts that have been found
in the fortress during previous years.
The working office of the fortress
administrator – modern civil
“commandant” – is also located in
the Water Tower building.
