What do the water tower, museum and church tell us?
The water tower links a distinctive building with a specific part of the town’s history: its construction was part of the municipal water supply system. The year 1905 and the Gdańsk company A. W. Müller give this historical connection a clear context, without the need for further technical details. Visitors interested in the region’s development can connect the tower with the museum’s focus on regional history.
The permanent exhibition at the Muzeum Ziemi Gołdapskiej im. M.M. Ratasiewicza is devoted to the region’s history and culture. The museum therefore offers a different perspective from the water tower: the focus here is on an exhibition, while the tower is a building that formed part of the water supply system. The Church of NMP Matki Kościoła is another historical point of interest.
