The Water Tower in Kragujevac was built at the end of the 19th century for the needs of the railway. It provided water for locomotives through natural gravity. It was constructed from bricks with alternating steel rings placed both on the outside and inside. At the top, a brick reservoir was formed, carved and cemented, in the shape of a hemisphere. Below the reservoir is a service area and a furnace with heated water. A chimney was built on the outside of this area, rising above the entire tower, and it was constructed simultaneously with the tower. The structure has an octagonal base with deep foundations. The top of the tower is accessed by an external spiral staircase. The very top is built as a bondruka construction, filled with interlocked planks. The roof covering is metal, and there is an octagonal lantern at the top of the roof.

It is one of the few such preserved buildings in Serbia and a symbol of architectural progress, as well as the development of the railway in this region.
