It is a monument of industrial architecture of the early 20th century. The necessity to build a water tower appeared in the 1860s when the Vladimir running water system was constructed. According to the first project the water tower was to be placed inside the former church above the Golden Gate. This project was fortunately not realized. Later a wooden water tower was built on the Kozlov Val (medieval rampart). In 1912 the building was completely reconstructed according to the project of architect Sergei Zharov. The building is a three-tiered structure made of red brick in the Pseudo-Russian style. Windows serve as a decoration, among them there are double ones, of different height and shape in each tier. The object is under the operational management of the Vladimir-Suzdal Museum-Reserve.

The Cathedral of St. Demetrius is a pristine example of Vladimir and Suzdal’s architecture and relief carving. It was built in the 1190s by Vsevolod the Big Nest, Grand Prince of Vladimir, who built it near his palace for personal use. The Cathedral is a relatively small single-domed church, but its perfect proportions illustrate the artistic ideals and conventions of twelfth-century Vladimir and Suzdal. What sets the Cathedral of St. Demetrius apart from other buildings of the period is its extremely rich carved limestone decorations. Visitors can look at fascinating bas-reliefs depicting lions, centaurs, snow leopards and exotic ornaments. Repeated in the central part of all three façades is a composition featuring King David, who was associated in medieval art with the celebration of the beauty and harmony of the world. The object is under the operational management of the Vladimir-Suzdal Museum-Reserve.

"I will renew this city with the metropolitan, may this city be a great reign and the head of all." Kiev, the "mother of Russian cities", served as a model for Vladimir's table. The main entrance to Vladimir, as in the "city of Yaroslav", was the Golden Gate built in 1158-1164 with the gate church and the Virgin's robe. Similar buildings existed in different years in major Orthodox cities - Jerusalem, Kiev and Constantinople. And until today they have been preserved only in Vladimir.
