Château d'eau d'Ascq, Water tower in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, France.
The Ascq water tower displays a white cylindrical structure decorated with colored bands and a mural depicting the natural water cycle.
Built in 1936 to meet growing drinking water needs, this water tower marks a significant milestone in the urban development of the region.
In 2009, a competition organized by Eaux du Nord water company allowed a schoolchild to create the water cycle drawing visible on the structure.
The water tower maintains its essential role in local water distribution and receives regular renovations to meet current technical standards.
The structure, visible from the TGV Nord Lille-Paris line, features a gradient of pastel colors from orange to sky blue since 2009.
