👍👍 This building was used to supply water, under appropriate pressure, to fountains, cascades, spas and other water facilities in parks or gardens. In modern garden architecture, these buildings were given antique forms (e.g. water collection in the Saxon Garden in Warsaw). People often mention water, reservoir, building,

    Generally closed on Monday, but it's worth going in and seeing the interior if you have the opportunity. From the outside, all you can see is an ordinary building. Still, it's worth paying attention to.

    It's an interesting place to visit in summer. In the 18th century, it served as a reservoir for water that supplied the Palace on the Isle. Today it is a bit forgotten because it is closed and it is difficult to see anything there. However, it is worth coming back and visiting the water-related exhibits.

    A water reservoir, called a reservoir - when walking around Łazienki, you usually just pass it. Without knowing that it can be visited. It's a pity, because the facility is beautiful and carefully renovated. From 2020, it is more widely available and includes an exhibition about the history of the facility and its role and the importance of water for the Łazienki Park. Once a brick building, it owes its current shape to the reconstruction in 1823 according to the design of Chrystian Piotr Aigner, who was modeled on an ancient Roman tomb. And it makes quite an impression. Especially when a frieze of fruit garlands and... ox skulls emerges among the trunks of nearby trees covered with thick ivy! The exhibition inside is sterile. It shows a cross-section of the building, plans, and explains its history. He quotes various quotes. Not to mention the historic wooden gutter/pipe in the floor at the very entrance 😉 What I personally miss in it is not so much multimedia, but rather an attempt to show how collecting water and distributing it to a nearby fountain or the Palace on the Isle actually worked. Not in the form of the best drawings and diagrams, but in the form of a simple, working model. As it can be successfully demonstrated in many water towers. After all, water itself is the best at it 💧

    The water reservoir was built in 1777-1778. It was designed by Dominik Merlini. in 1827 the building was renovated and rebuilt by Piotr Aigner. A two-column portico was added, and the walls were plastered in rustic slabs and topped with a cornice with an ox skull motif.

    A very nicely renovated "round" water reservoir. The facility is located in the Royal Łazienki Park. It is worth entering the surprising interior, once a strategic place.

    Wodozbiór, or "Water Feature," in Warsaw is a refreshing sight to behold! This modern, interactive fountain is a favorite spot for locals to cool off on hot summer days, and a popular attraction for tourists who want to witness the magic of water in motion. With its synchronized sprays, colorful lights, and playful music, Wodozbiór is a true feast for the senses. And if you're feeling brave, you can even take a dip in the cool, refreshing water. Just be warned - you might never want to leave this aquatic wonderland! So if you're in Warsaw and looking for a unique way to beat the heat, head to Wodozbiór and let the waterworks begin.

    The water tower once served as a reservoir to collect water that supplied the palace and other buildings in the complex. Although it dates back to the 17th or 18th century, it got its present appearance of an ancient temple or tomb at the beginning of the 19th century. It is possible to visit it with one of the combined tickets. Inside, you can see old maps of the complex and Warsaw, as well as technical details, with models, of how the water tower worked.

    Actually, there's not much there. If you're walking around Łazienki, you can stop by, but I wouldn't recommend going there specifically.

  • 4/5 Unicorn Games �. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A small exhibition. It would be more interesting if someone told. And so I had to read. Under the models there are drawers where there is actually information. Because at first glance it seems that there is almost nothing interesting. The water tower contained even living rooms, 3 pieces. It is shown how the water supply of the palace complex took place. They didn't let me upstairs. free entrance (Original) Невеличка експозиція. Було б цікавіше якби хтось розказував. А так довелося читати. Під макетами є висувні ящики де власне і є інформація. Бо на перший погляд видається, що майже нічого цікавого немає. Водонапірна башта містила у собі навіть житлові кімнати, 3 штуки. Показано як відбувалося забезпечення водою палацового комплексу. Наверх не пускали. Вхід вільний

    (Translated by Google) The object itself is interesting. Just a guard or what function this man performed for exchange - a time ago, you stopped in the last era. It is hot, hot in the yard and warm radiators in the building ... The lady tells the bored gentleman about it and the latter replies: "What, is it you?" The confused began to explain that it surprised her a bit and in general, so kindly lady with a superior tone: "because there is moisture inside ..." (Original) Sam obiekt jest ciekawy. Tylko strażnik czy jaką tam funkcję pełnił ten człowiek do wymiany - czas temu panu zatrzymał się w ubiegłej epoce. Upał, gorąco na podwórku a w obiekcie ciepłe kaloryfery... Pani mówi o tym znudzonemu jegomościowi a ten na to: "a co, przeszkadza, to pani?" Ta zmieszana zaczęła tłumaczyć, że trochę ją to dziwi i w ogóle, no to łaskawie pańcio z tonem wyższości: "bo wilgoć jest w środku..."
