Lappeenranta water tower, Water tower in Lappeenranta, Finland.
Lappeenranta's water tower is a structure that distributes water to the city and rises above the surrounding area. The building functions both as an observation point and houses an exhibition space inside.
The structure was built in 1927 and received its present appearance through extensive renovations in 1954. This overhaul was part of a larger municipal development period.
The interior features photographs documenting how the city changed over time, displayed through four distinct themes. These images show visitors how daily life and buildings in Lappeenranta looked across different decades.
The observation deck is accessible during the warmer months and requires climbing several flights of stairs. It is advisable to wear comfortable shoes and allow time to view the exhibition.
Adjacent to the tower sits a botanical garden where visitors can explore plant collections alongside industrial infrastructure. This uncommon pairing creates a place where engineering and nature coexist.
