Watertoren Meije, Water tower in Nieuwkoop, Netherlands
The Meije water tower rises 57.65 meters into the sky, featuring a white concrete exterior and a distinctive conical roof with horizontal ring patterns.
Built between 1931 and 1932, this water tower was designed by architects C.B. Posthumus Meyjes and J.J. van der Linden for the water supply company De Elf Gemeenten.
The structure earned the designation of Rijksmonument in 2001, marking its status as a protected monument of national importance in the Netherlands.
The tower contains a reservoir capable of holding 450 cubic meters of water, with internal iron staircases connecting multiple levels in a zigzag configuration.
This water tower represents one of the first structures built using the sliding formwork technique, creating visible horizontal rings along its exterior surface.
