Château d'eau Baud-Chardonnet, Water tower in Plaine de Baud, Rennes, France
The octagonal water tower rises 23 meters high above the Baud-Chardonnet district, featuring two auxiliary buildings at its base.
Built in 1919, the structure served first as a water tower and later as a grain silo during the industrial development of the Plaine de Baud area.
The tower stands at Place Assia-Djebar as a testament to the industrial heritage of Rennes and its textile manufacturing past.
The structure undergoes renovation planning through public consultations to determine its future function within the developing Baud-Chardonnet neighborhood.
Local stories mention that the top section of the tower once housed a women's hair salon during one period of its varied history.
