Brønshøj Water Tower, Water tower in Brønshøj district, Copenhagen, Denmark.
The Brønshøj Water Tower is a circular concrete structure located in Copenhagen's Brønshøj district, standing 34 meters tall with a 20-meter diameter. Round windows spiral up along its walls, giving the building a distinctive appearance.
The tower was built in 1928 under city architect Poul Holsøe and project architect Ib Lunding to support Copenhagen's expanding water needs. It received protected status in 2000 and underwent major renovation in 2005.
The tower now hosts concerts and exhibitions that attract people who want to experience music in its distinctive acoustic environment. This use has transformed the building into a cultural gathering place for the neighborhood.
The tower is located at Brønshøjvej 29 and is easily accessible from the street. Before visiting, it is worth checking what events or exhibitions are currently being held there.
The structure features reinforced concrete pilasters spaced evenly along its walls, showcasing early twentieth-century water infrastructure engineering. These structural details quietly demonstrate the building techniques that were cutting-edge when it was built.
