Historical note
Pump Room No. 1, located in the central Resort Park of Truskavets, supplies the famous “Naftusia” medicinal mineral water. The stone structure was erected in the mid-20th century to replace earlier 19th-century wooden capping structures to accommodate the growing number of health resort visitors.
Present day
Today, the Pump Room No. 1 building retains its historical architectural appearance and continues to operate as the primary mineral water distribution point in the central resort area.
