The New Mill Water Tower is said to be Prague's earliest lookout tower

The six-storey Novomlýnská (New Mill) Water Tower has a rather modest appearance. The original structure, dating back to the mid-17th century, was located right on the Vltava River and supplied water to public fountains in the surrounding areas of the New Town.   

The water tower in its present form was built in 1658. It supplied water from the Vltava River to the lower part of the New Town of Prague. Water from the river was first mechanically pumped into a holding tanks at the top of the tower, then fed through wooden pipes down the tower shaft to the ground floor, from where it was fed by other pipe to the city’s fountains and houses. The tower served its original purpose until 1877.
