Henschtal Water Tower

Henschtal Water Tower is a 15-meter concrete structure in Henschtal-Sangerhof that serves as an observation point over the rolling countryside of the region. The building allows views across the surrounding landscape and nearby villages.

The tower was originally built as a water storage facility for the local community and served this purpose for many years. When water distribution systems were modernized, the building was converted into an observation tower and gained a new role.

The structure shows how industrial buildings in rural areas get new purposes and remain part of community life. Visitors can see how practical constructions became landmarks that people value today.

The tower is located in a quiet setting and is accessible to visitors throughout the year without entrance fees or time restrictions. It is best to plan a visit during good weather so you can enjoy the surrounding countryside from the height.

The tower stands near where Steinbach and Hodenbach streams meet to form Henschbach, which flows through the municipality. This location makes it a natural reference point for the area's water management history.
