The building of the seawater and mud treatment facility with a 25-metre water tower (German: Wasserturm Rauschen) was erected in 1900-1908 to a design by architect Otto-Walter Kuckuck. Built in the National Romantic style, it became the dominant feature and organising element of the upper, dune-side part of Rauschen.
The tower supplied Rauschen with water drawn from springs near Mill Pond, now Tikhoye Lake. At the seawater and mud treatment facility, visitors could take warm seawater and carbon dioxide baths, and receive mud therapy, electrotherapy, light therapy and therapeutic massage.
In 1978, the tower was decorated with a sundial created by Svetlogorsk artist and monumental sculptor N.P. Frolov.
Beneath the helmet-shaped roof of the tower is an observation deck overlooking the town and its surroundings. Today, the tower and the operating seawater and mud treatment facility belong to the Svetlogorsk Military Sanatorium. It is a cultural heritage site of regional significance.
