Water tower in Delft, Water tower and national monument in Delft, Netherlands.
The water tower features a tapering brick substructure with a large reservoir on top, designed to maintain water pressure throughout Delft.
Architect M.A.C. Hartman designed this neo-Holland Renaissance style tower in 1895 to address insufficient water supply following cholera outbreaks.
The water tower structure houses a meditation center and connects to RADIUS art center, which offers educational programs and exhibitions.
Visitors can access the tower during weekends from 11:00 to 17:00, with guided tours available for groups up to 20 people.
Engineers tested the reservoir's structural integrity by filling it with 600 tonnes of water before opening the facility to public service.
