📍 Novomlýnská Water Tower

About the venue

The Novomlýnská water tower stands in the Petrská čtvrť neighbourhood of Prague's New Town and is one of the oldest surviving technical monuments in the city. Its current baroque form dates from 1658, replacing a Renaissance predecessor destroyed by a flood in 1655. Until 1877 it supplied the lower New Town with water pumped from the Vltava. After a full restoration it opened to the public for the first time in 2017, now housing the multimedia exhibition "Praha hoří" on the history of Prague's fires and firefighters. The sixth floor offers a panoramic view from twelve windows at a height of 30 metres.
