Fugger's water pumping station
The princely Fugger water pumping station is located in the municipality of Kirchheim in Swabia , in the district of Unterallgäu , Bavaria . It is a listed building and was built in 1563. It is located at the southern end of the Schlossberg on the Flossach River . Under Hans Fugger it was repaired in 1583 and redesigned in the 18th century.
It consists of a square building with two storeys in the south and one storey on the north slope side. It is covered with a tent roof over a carnies cornice . The extension on the west side is more recent. The interior consists of a large room with a brick lance cap barrel from the 16th century.
