The bench of Henryk Kwinto in Piotrków Trybunalski was created in May 2015 as part of the film trail. It commemorates the iconic film "Vabank" (1981) by Juliusz Machulski, scenes of which were filmed in this city (including in the corner tenement house "Złoty Róg" at Plac Kościuszki, which played Kramer's bank). In the autumn of 2024, the renovated bench was moved to a better, new location.

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.
