Pevcheskaya Tower (Russian: Певческая башня) is a water tower in Pushkin, near St. Petersburg, Russia. The tower was constructed based on the design of architect Aleksandr Vidov [ru] 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.[1]

At the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries restoration work took place. On March 15, 2005 there was a fire, after which the tower has not been restored.[1] From 2009 is in renovation within project led by Gutsait Group (Saint Petersburg)
