Alkmaarse Watertoren
Alkmaarse Watertoren, Water tower and municipal monument in Alkmaar, Netherlands.
The Alkmaarse Watertoren rises 31.4 meters into the sky, featuring a water reservoir capable of holding 800,000 liters of water.
Built in 1900 by architects J.C. Franken and A. Holmberg-de Beckfelt, the tower initially displayed castellations that resembled the fortress in the city coat of arms.
The structure represents early 20th-century Dutch industrial architecture and stands as a testament to municipal water infrastructure development in Noord-Holland.
The former water tower now houses engineering offices and professional services companies, with occasional public access during heritage open days.
During the severe winter of 1947, the tower ran completely dry when residents left their taps running to prevent pipe freezing.
