About this place
One of Vinnytsia’s symbols that has survived for centuries is the Vinnytsia water tower. By happy fate, the destructive years of the world wars and the 1917 revolution passed this structure by. Since its construction in 1912, it served as a water tower, during World War II as an observation post, and then was converted into a residential building. Only from the 1980s was its space given over to a museum in memory of the soldiers who died during the Afghan War.

The 28-meter tower was once one of the city’s largest structures. It could be seen from afar, several kilometers away. Today, however, it fits harmoniously into the city’s high-rise development.
Interesting facts:
