Château d'eau de Colmar, Gothic Revival water tower in Colmar, France.
The water tower rises 53 meters high with a diameter of 12.3 meters, featuring pointed arches and modillons across its stone exterior.
Municipal architect Victor Huen and engineer Heinrich Grüner constructed this water distribution facility between 1884 and 1886 to supply Colmar with drinking water.
The structure received monument historique status in 1993, recognizing its architectural value and role in regional infrastructure development.
Located on Avenue Raymond-Poincaré in southern Colmar, the tower stands within a 13,990 square meter park that provides public green space.
