Beautiful water tower with colorfully glazed roof tiles from 1899. 100 years ago it provided the water supply in the 10th and 12th districts. Nowadays it can be visited.
Next to it is a huge water playground with play equipment for the little ones, sports areas and fitness equipment.

The water tower was built in 1898/99 and supplied the high areas of the 10th and 12th districts with drinking water. A few years later, this task was taken over by the Second Vienna High Spring Pipeline, which was put into operation in 1910. From this time on, the tower was only in operation occasionally, for example when the second high spring pipeline had to be drained for maintenance work. From 1956 the water tower was no longer used for water supply.
