Esbjerg Water Tower, Water tower and museum in Esbjerg, Denmark
The red-brick tower, standing 33 meters high with four decorative turrets, provides a commanding view over Esbjerg harbor and surrounding areas.
Constructed in 1897 by architect C.H. Clausen, the tower addressed the water supply needs of Esbjerg's 9,000 residents who previously relied on wells.
The structure houses exhibitions about European water towers, displaying architectural variations and technological developments throughout different time periods.
Visitors can access the tower daily from June to mid-September between 10 AM and 4 PM, with weekend openings during spring and autumn months.
The water tower rises from a Bronze Age burial mound and incorporates design elements inspired by the medieval Nassauer Haus of Nuremberg.
