Nice museum
It is a monument of industrial architecture of the early 20th century. The necessity to build a water tower appeared in the 1860s when the Vladimir running water system was constructed. According to the first project the water tower was to be placed inside the former church above the Golden Gate. This project was fortunately not realized. Later a wooden water tower was built on the Kozlov Val (medieval rampart). In 1912 the building was completely reconstructed according to the project of architect Sergei Zharov. The building is a three-tiered structure made of red brick in the Pseudo-Russian style. Windows serve as a decoration, among them there are double ones, of different height and shape in each tier. The object is under the operational management of the Vladimir-Suzdal Museum-Reserve.

Merchant past of old Vladimir
This water tower is nice and compact, to keep you warm on a winter day, with a panoramic platform on top, tells you of XIX century life of this provincial little town Vladimir, that used to be Russia`s big heart long time back and lost all of its glory from XIII century onwards, nice old pictures and household items, enough to give you an idea and travel back in time, a bit sporty staircase to climb, so be ready for this little effort. Tip for history fans: as to lder items from early history of Vladimir ( 3D medieval city plan, silver coins the size of the fish scales, and bronze age exhibits) those can be found in Vladimir`s red-brick history museum, street nearby St.Dimitry Cathedral
