Apotekarnes vattenfabrik, Former water factory in Gårda, Sweden
The four-story industrial building with a basement features a distinctive water tower and stands along Åvägen street in the Gårda district of Gothenburg.
Designed by architect Folke Bensow and built in 1935-1936, the factory produced mineral water and soft drinks like Solo and Vichyvatten until its closure in 1974.
The building served as home to the Gothenburg Industrial History Museum from 1982 to 1994, followed by the Gothenburg Ethnographic Museum until 2000.
Since 2004, the building operates as Brewhouse, providing workspaces for music, film, and media production companies, with facilities for concerts and conferences.
Water for production came directly from the Kallebäcks source through a dedicated system and was stored in a large cistern within the tower structure.
