Château d'eau de Brive, Water tower and historic monument in Brive-la-Gaillarde, France.
The lighthouse-shaped tower stands at the end of a promenade along the former canal, featuring Mediterranean gardens with olive trees and lavender.
Built in 1834, the water tower pumped water from the Doux, filtered it through sand, and distributed it to surrounding fountains through gravity.
The first floor of the water tower served as a viewing platform for local officials during agricultural and cultural events in the city.
The tower now houses the tourist office with a local products shop and offers free access to visitors during opening hours.
Located on former marshland where thirteen branches of the Corrèze River once flowed, the site required extensive drainage before construction.
