Museum of the Severočeská vodárenská společnost (North Bohemian Water Company) in the historic pumping station building from 1902–1903 near Litoměřice.

Open to schools, research clubs and the public by prior arrangement.

Why visit this place?

• The pumping station from 1902–1903 still houses a twelve-tonne Deutz diesel generator from 1930, which is fully functional after restoration.
• The new exhibition, opened in June 2025, charts the history of water supply and sewer systems in the region from the 13th century to the present day.
• Admission is free, which helps when the class budget is tight.
• Allow roughly an hour; the programme is aimed at every age group from preschool to secondary school.
• There are 42 more tips within 25 km, enough to build a full-day trip.
• The whole programme is indoors, so rain is not a problem.
