Wasserturm

TIME : 2016/2/18 16:15:06

Just south of the Militärakademie, rising between the convergence of two busy roads, is the town’s water tower from 1910. Its shape intentionally apes the gilded goblet donated to the townsfolk by King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary after he took the town in 1487. It’s still in operation today, so for reasons of hygiene you can’t enter.
