Hiking

One of the most striking buildings in the city is the waterworks built in 1911 with a water tower, fountain house, de-icing system and pump station. The water tower is visible from afar.
In 1995 the conversion to a hotel and restaurant complex took place while largely retaining the structural conditions. The tower received a hood and a golden tower crowning, so that the water tower, together with the towers of the Protestant and Catholic churches, again determined the silhouette of the city.

Hiking

The waterworks with water tower, well house, de-icing system and pump station is located on Heinersdorfer Damm. It is one of the most striking buildings in Schwedt. The ensemble was built in 1911. The plans for the building came from the Düsseldorf architectural firm Heinrich Scheven. Due to the rapid increase in population in the city, the water pressure and quantity were no longer sufficient. The plant was shut down in 1965. In 1995 it was converted into a hotel and restaurant complex.
