Château d'eau d'Hérouville-Saint-Clair, Water tower and historic monument in Hérouville-Saint-Clair, France.
The metal water tower rises 52 meters high with three steel tanks of 500 cubic meters each, supported by three pillars painted in gray.
The water tower was built between 1963 and 1968 by architect Georges Johannet to supply water to the expanding urban development zone.
The water tower design influenced the municipal logo of Hérouville-Saint-Clair in 1971 and became part of city communications from 2004.
Two walkways at heights of 14 and 21 meters allow broadcasting of sports events from the nearby Prestavoine stadium.
The three reservoirs are painted in different shades of blue, creating a visual landmark that received heritage status recognition in 2010.
