Pevcheskaya Tower (Russian: Певческая башня) is a water tower in Pushkin, near St. Petersburg (Russia). The tower was constructed based on the project of architect A. Vidov as one of two towers of the Taitsky waterpipe. In addition to the basic function as a water tower, the first power station in Russia also operated there since the tower's construction. During the Second World War it suffered severe damage.
