Water tower in Aalsmeer, Art Deco water tower in Aalsmeer, Netherlands.
The water tower stands 51 meters tall on the edge of Westeinderplassen lake, featuring two large water basins with capacities of 460,000 and 530,000 liters.
Built between 1926 and 1928 under the direction of engineer Hendrik Sangster, the tower supplied drinking water to Aalsmeer residents until its decommissioning in 1994.
The tower received the Rijksmonument designation in 2002, marking its status as a protected national monument of the Netherlands.
Visitors can access the ground floor for free, while climbing to the observation point costs 2 euros for adults and 1 euro for children.
The tower houses nesting peregrine falcons at its summit, limiting public access to the top level between early June and February.
