The observation tower is located in the southern part of the park near the Winter Garden. These two structures, separated by some distance, are nevertheless connected by a common history that dates back to the middle of the XIX century.
Since 1840, the building of the Winter Garden served as one of the ground buildings of the sugar factory of the owner of the Gomel estate Ivan Fedorovich Paskevich. In the underground room of the production building there was a boiler room that provided steam power to the machines. A high brick exhaust pipe was erected on the high bank of the Sozh River to divert combustion products and create thrust for the furnace. Gorenje At the request of the new owner of the Gomel estate, Fyodor Ivanovich Paskevich, the production of the sweet product was transferred to Dobrush. And in the early 1880s, the buildings of the sugar factory were partially converted and adapted for park facilities, which they are at the present time. The ground production building housed a greenhouse - "Winter Garden", the exhaust pipe after reconstruction began to be used as a Ferris tower. Together with the observation deck and the spire above it, the height of the structure reaches 40 meters.
The Observation tower served as a park facility throughout the Soviet period. During the Great Patriotic War, the building suffered from shelling. Traces of shrapnel and bullets have survived to the present time.
