If you go from Borisova to the side Tolochin, then driving along the M1 highway, you can see an interesting structure - this water tower in the village Priyamino.
The village itself is not particularly remarkable. Therefore, it is doubly pleasant that the locals have kept their main attraction in excellent condition.
The Priyaminskaya water tower has been used for its intended purpose for many years. According to locals, it was built in the 19th century.
The construction of the tower near the railway is not accidental. It was used to refuel steam locomotives with water, so the structure can be called strategic. The quality of the brickwork and the finishing of the plinth with granite stone are also striking.
During the Second World War, the Germans repeatedly tried to blow it up. On the tower itself in Priyamino, there are many potholes from shots. You can also see traces of hits of large shells.
Luckily the water tower was indestructible. The Priyaminskaya water head is very similar to the well-known tower in Minsk.
Local old-timers have stories of how a huge bomb pit was filled up for many years. The tower is located in the village of Priyamino, Borisovsky district. By the way, in Borisov there is also a unique building of this type - Shukhov Tower. More sights of Belarus on the map и country tour options.
