A 27-meter water tower built in the late 1930s, designed by city architect Antoni Karolak as part of Kalisz's municipal waterworks system established from 1935. After being decommissioned in the 1960s, the tower stood abandoned until sculptor and cultural animator Bogdan Jarecki initiated its transformation into an art space. Since 1987 it has operated as the Plastic Arts Culture Center "Wieża Ciśnień," now bearing Jarecki's name.
