The water tower was completed in 1926 according to the design by Władysław Horodecki. The construction was financed by a loan taken from the New York company „Ulen & Co.”, as part of an agreement concerning the financing of investments in four Polish cities (Częstochowa, Lublin, Radom, and Sosnowiec) aimed at modernizing infrastructure and improving sanitary and health standards. The tower was intended to be part of the water and sewage system of Piotrków Trybunalski, which is why it was located in the very center of the city on Słowackiego street, right next to the railway station. In the mid-1990s, a radio transmitter was placed on it. Until May 20, 2013, the Polsat television company had a transmitter on the tower. In mid-2008, the exterior of the Water Tower was renovated as part of the Trail of Many Cultures project.

It may not be the French Riviera or even a substitute for Polish Masuria. But as a park with a beach in the city. Quite an interesting development of the place.

The establishment of the Orthodox parish in Piotrków is associated with a group of Greeks who came to Piotrków from Macedonia in the mid-18th century. King Stanisław August allowed the opening of an Orthodox pastoral facility in the attic of a private house, owned by the Grabowski family at today's Plac Stefana Czarnieckiego (former Krótka Street) 10 in 1788. The first parish priest was hieromonk Grzegorz, originally from the island of Chios, a monk from one of the Athos communities. He performed his duties until his death in 1832. His duties were taken over by a Russian priest, Fr. Żadziński. Until 1839, the Piotrków parish, as an ethnically Greek one, was not subject to the local structures of the Russian Orthodox Church. It was only after that date that it was incorporated into it, which meant the removal of the Greek language from the liturgy. Located at 15 Juliusza Słowackiego Street. Built in the years 1844–1847, and expanded according to the design of the Russian architect Ivan Vasilyevich Shtrem in the years 1867–1869.

The courthouse was built according to various designs between 1905 and 1909 according to the design of the provincial architect Feliks Nowicki in a style described as eclectic, Art Nouveau or neoclassical. During World War I, in 1914 during the fighting for the city, a field hospital was set up in its interior. After the end of World War II, the courthouse first housed the Municipal National Council, and then, after the establishment of the Piotrków Trybunalski Voivodeship in 1975, the building was the seat of the Voivodeship Office. Since 1989, it has once again served as a court. The eastern wing of the building with an entrance from Toruńska Street houses the State Archives established in 1919. The building is entered in the register of monuments under the number 278 of 2.04.1979. It is also in the municipal register of monuments of the city of Piotrków Trybunalski.
