Watertoren Roelofarendsveen, Municipal monument water tower in Roelofarendsveen, Netherlands.
The watertoren Roelofarendsveen is a municipal water storage tower in Kaag en Braassem featuring a square footprint with four concrete columns at its corners and red brickwork set against concrete surfaces. A flower shop now occupies the ground level, adding a contemporary use to the structure.
Architect Hendrik Sangster designed this water tower in 1932 to support the region's water management infrastructure. The construction responded to growing local needs for reliable water distribution.
The tower serves as a visual landmark in Roelofarendsveen and has become part of the local community's identity. People pass by regularly and recognize it as a symbol of their village.
The tower is easily visible from the village and serves as a helpful orientation point for finding your way around Roelofarendsveen. Walking around the area allows you to notice the architectural details and the flower shop at ground level.
Since 1986, each side of the tower has been decorated with four meter-high tulip displays that make it recognizable from different angles. These floral decorations link the tower's practical purpose with a local touch.
