The water tower in Fischamend, a landmark visible from afar, was built around 1916 for the k.u.k. Military Aeronautical Institute. It served to supply the airfield with drinking water and is one of the few witnesses to the former airship history.

The town tower, also known as the market tower and fish tower, is the landmark of the Lower Austrian town of Fischamend and was built in the Middle Ages. After a fire in 1834, it was renovated and largely retained its current appearance. Until 1927, the almost 31-meter-high tower served as a community hall and night watchman's apartment and has been used as a local museum since then. WIKIPEDIA
