CZ: V roce 1564 nechala obec prestavet Fortenskou bránu a vedle ní postavit vodárenskou vež, která se zachovala dodnes. Voda do veže byla hnána z mlýna a odtud rozvádena rourami do kašny na námestí.
Vodárenská vež dosud stojí v podobe novostavby z poloviny 19. století. Je to strohá empírová patrová budova, skromného ctvercového pudorysu, s rovnou strechou a atikou ukoncenou motivem cimburí.
Vež v soucasné dobe slouží k príležitostnému ubytování v rámci systému BNB (Bed and Breakfast). Soucástí ubytování pro dve osoby je kuchyn, pokoj - ložnice, WC, koupelna, z vybavení pak lednicka, internet a další.
ENG: In 1564 the village rebuilt the Forten Gate and next to it to build a water tower, which is still preserved. The water into the tower was driven from the mill and from there distributed through pipes to the fountain in the square.
The Water Tower still stands in the form of a new building from the mid-19th century. It is an austere Empire two-storey building with a modest square ground plan, with a flat roof and a parapet with a battlement motif.
The tower is currently used for occasional accommodation within the B&B (Bed and Breakfast) system. Part of accommodation for two people is a kitchen, room - bedroom, toilet, bathroom, the equipment then refrigerator, internet and more.
