Water tower in Rybinsk is located on the street of Kuibyshev, beyond the river Cherries. This tower was once the architectural dominant of the former city building. But further construction of residential flats near it slightly reduced its composite value of the tower. But now, after a hundred years, it catches the eye with its colorful solution in contrast to the buildings of the Soviet times.

The history of this tower is primarily associated with the construction of a municipal water system that was begun in 1899. With the permission of the government for these purposes, the Duma Rybinsk issued bonds in the amount of 400 thousand rubles. In the spring of 1901 water supply with all technical facilities, including the Water tower was put into operation.

The project of water supply facilities and Water tower was designed by a young engineer V. Nielsen (his book is devoted to the description and calculation of the Rybinsk water, published in 1901 in the printing O. K. Falk, preserved among his descendants in Mariupol). Victor Nielsen began his career in the provincial Rybinsk. He was the son of a Lutheran pastor, he studied in St. Petersburg at the Institute of civil engineers. He also worked on the design of water supply networks and facilities in Mariupol, served as the engineer of the city administration. In the 1930s, Victor Nielsen was accused of espionage in favor of Germany.

Water tower in Rybinsk has a height of 30 meters. It was built in 1901 by the company of brothers Bromley. The tower is built of dark red brick five-tiered octagonal pillar from the observation tower, crowned with vosmiletnem tent. The water tower has an eclectic style, typical of the late 19th century – here combines architectural elements of Gothic and Romanesque styles. Each face of the pillar-treated blades that are moving the Lancet rusticated arches. Observation tower decorated openwork finial and finial.

Water tower shrouded in Rybinsk different kinds of secrets. The fact that the project belongs to Nielsen, there is no doubt, but the sketch of the tower is missing in his book. This Water tower, erected in Mariupol, according to the Nielsen project, very similar to Rybinsk. An illustrated calendar, 1902, dedicated to the city, describing the development of Rybinsk, its current state and does not name the author of the project. It says only about a contractor responsible for the construction. In the literature on local history by the author of the water structures referred to as civil engineer A. K. ANSA. About it it is known that he was involved in the drafting of the Rybinsk slaughterhouse.

There is an assumption that Nielsen after the drafting of the Rybinsk water in 1900 was offended by Constantine of Latvia, the mayor, and therefore, after receiving a proposal from the authorities in Mariupol, without hesitation went out of town. Therefore, the construction of water supply has already lasted without him.

Currently the Water tower in Securemote, which is a monument of industrial architecture, has passed into private hands. The building was restored and now functions as a place of entertainment and living space.
