Wasserturm Allschwil, Water tower in Allschwil, Switzerland.
The cylindrical concrete structure reaches a height of 42.5 meters and contains two reservoirs with a total capacity of 990 cubic meters of drinking water.
The construction of the tower began in 1970, with its observation deck opening to the public in 1983, marking a significant development in local infrastructure.
The tower functions as a meeting point for the Allschwil community, offering panoramic views of Basel, the Black Forest, and the Leimental region from its platform.
Visitors can access the observation platform at 38 meters height from March to October on Sundays and public holidays between 14:00 and 17:00.
Four panoramic information boards help visitors identify landmarks while the entire structure weighs 1,660 tons and stands on 18-meter concrete foundation piles.
