Fire Tower (Fire Station Museum)
Пажарная каланча
A brick fire lookout tower from the early 20th century. Its ground floor houses a fire-service history exhibition, and it is a striking landmark at the Castle Street crossing.
The fire tower was built around 1912. Its brick tower and lookout platform were used to watch for fires in the city. It is still used by the fire service, and the ground floor displays a history of firefighting, including old fire engines and equipment. The tower stands at the Castle Street crossing, just a few steps from the Old Castle and the Great Synagogue, and it makes a great angle for photographing the Old Town streetscape. You can view the exterior at any time, but the exhibition has limited opening hours.
