Södra vattentornet, Water tower in Örebro, Sweden.

The water tower features a tall cylindrical structure with brick walls and serves as a reminder of industrial architecture from the 1880s.

Constructed in 1886, Södra vattentornet supplied water to Örebro residents until 1958 when the newer Svampen water tower took over operations.

The structure represents the emergence of modern urban infrastructure in Swedish cities during the late nineteenth century industrial development.

The tower maintained consistent water pressure throughout the city by storing water at an elevation sufficient for distribution to local households.

Engineers designed the tower with a dual purpose, combining water storage capabilities with an architectural style that defined the city skyline.

Location: Örebro Municipality
