Mechelen-Zuid Water Tower, Protected water tower in Mechelen-Zuid, Belgium.
The Mechelen-Zuid Water Tower rises 143 meters above ground level, featuring two circular platforms that house water storage and telecommunications equipment.

The structure received the status of protected monument from the Flemish government, marking its importance within Belgium's architectural and technical heritage.
The water tower contains a substantial tank of 2,500 cubic meters positioned 50 meters high, supplying water to the entire Mechelen municipality.
