Tips from the Community
The water tower was completed in 1926 according to the design by Władysław Horodecki. The construction was financed by a loan taken from the New York company „Ulen & Co.”, as part of an agreement concerning the financing of investments in four Polish cities (Częstochowa, Lublin, Radom, and Sosnowiec) aimed at modernizing infrastructure and improving sanitary and health standards. The tower was intended to be part of the water and sewage system of Piotrków Trybunalski, which is why it was located in the very center of the city on Słowackiego street, right next to the railway station. In the mid-1990s, a radio transmitter was placed on it. Until May 20, 2013, the Polsat television company had a transmitter on the tower. In mid-2008, the exterior of the Water Tower was renovated as part of the Trail of Many Cultures project.

From the described history we will learn that it is not so much a roadside chapel. And at one time, it was a branch church. And what is that? Everyone can google it :D And there is no need for idiotic pasting of entire articles from Wiki :D

Over the centuries of their presence in Witów, the Norbertines left behind numerous valuable monuments of material art. Without a doubt, one of them is the roadside figure of St. John of Nepomuk, located in Witów Kolonia, near the Strawa River. It was built in 1781, and its founder was the penultimate abbot of the Witów congregation, Eustachy Suchecki (1767-1603). The sandstone figure of St. John of Nepomuk, dressed in priestly attire, holding a cross with the image of Christ in both hands, is located on a pedestal topped with a multi-step, profiled cornice. On the quadrangular pedestal made of sandstone, differentiated by panels, there is a marble slab with a Latin inscription, translated as: In honor of the Patron of God John of Nepomuk, Eustachy Suchecki, the abbot of the Norbertines of Witów, founded it. Year of Our Lord 1781, May 5 By decision of April 8, 1971, reference number: KI. IV-660/47/71, the building was entered into the register of monuments as having great historical and artistic value, which is why it is subject to special legal protection.

All that remains of the former monastery is the gate tower, which currently serves as a bell tower.

Beautiful brick architecture. A completely different building, even incompatible with the rest of the city's plastered buildings. Phenomenally dominant with its atmosphere.
