Schoonhoven water tower, Water tower in Schoonhoven, Netherlands
The Schoonhoven water tower rises 50 meters high with a cruciform base and features decorative plaster bands, stone accents, and an eight-sided slate roof.
Built in 1901 by architect F.A. de Jongh, the structure served as the first water distribution facility for the Krimpenerwaard region until 1982.
The tower now contains a silver gallery and three workshops where local silversmiths continue their craft within its historic walls.
The cylindrical water reservoir inside the tower has a capacity of 150 cubic meters and remains supported by the original iron structures.
The tower combines Renaissance Revival and Swiss chalet architectural styles with rounded windows, carved balusters, and ornamental brickwork across all facades.
