The
beautiful
water
tower
in
the
Neo-Renaissance
style
was
built
by
the
then
independent
town
of
Královské
Vinohrady
in
1882
according
to
the
project
of
the
architect
Antonín
Turk.
The
tower
was
part
of
the
Vinohrady
water
supply
system,
which
consisted
of
an
old
waterworks
in
Podolí,
underground
reservoirs,
a
pumping
station
and
a
tower
reservoir
on
Korunní
třída.
The
Vinohrady
water
tower
on
a
square
floor
plan,
40
meters
high,
has
seven
floors.
The
latter
is
covered
by
a
terrace,
which
previously
served
as
a
sought-after
lookout
tower.
In
1962,
the
gas
station
was
decommissioned
and
the
tower
was
rebuilt
into
apartments.
In
1991,
the
building
was
declared
a
cultural
monument.
Two
years
later,
the
reconstruction
took
place
and
the
sculptural
decoration
on
the
tower
was
restored.
At
the
top
of
the
tower
are
the
corner
pylons
and
the
emblem
of
Královské
Vinohrady.
Between
the
windows
of
the
top
floor
is
a
tower
clock
with
Roman
numerals
on
all
four
sides.
They
are
operated
by
an
electrically
controlled
Hainz
mechanism,
renovated
during
a
complete
renovation
of
the
façade
in
1993.

(Original)
Nádhernou
vodárenskou
věž
v
novorenesančním
slohu
nechalo
postavit
tehdy
samostatné
město
Královské
Vinohrady
v
roce
1882
podle
projektu
architekta
Antonína
Turka.
Věž
byla
součástí
systému
vodního
zásobování
Vinohrad,
který
se
skládal
ze
staré
vodárny
v
Podolí,
podzemních
vodojemů,
čerpací
stanice
a
věžového
vodojemu
na
Korunní
třídě.
Vinohradská
vodárenská
věž
na
čtvercovém
půdorysu,
o
výšce
40
metrů,
má
sedm
podlaží.
To
poslední
je
překryto
terasou,
která
dříve
sloužila
jako
vyhledávaná
rozhledna.
V
roce
1962
byla
vyřazena
z
provozu
čerpací
stanice
a
věž
byla
přestavěna
na
byty.
V
roce
1991
byla
stavba
prohlášena
za
kulturní
památku.
O
dva
roky
později
proběhla
rekonstrukce
a
byla
obnovena
sochařská
výzdoba
na
věži.
Na
vrcholu
věže
jsou
nárožní
pylony
a
znak
Královských
Vinohrad.
Mezi
okny
posledního
patra
jsou
na
všech
čtyřech
stranách
věžní
hodiny
s
římskými
číslicemi.
Obsluhuje
je
elektricky
řízený
Hainzův
mechanismus,
renovovaný
při
celkové
obnově
fasády
v
roce
1993.
