Château d'eau de Sélestat, Water tower in Sélestat, France.
The 50-meter tall brick tower holds a 500 cubic meter water tank, featuring yellow and red bricks with rounded arches in neo-Romanesque style.
Built between 1905 and 1906 under engineer Behr's direction, the water tower design was based on a 1893 structure from Deventer, Netherlands.
The tower's pinnacle housed an imperial eagle until 1918, when it was replaced with a French rooster, reflecting the region's changing political identities.
Located at 4 Place du Général de Gaulle, the water tower opens to visitors during special heritage events and celebrations throughout the year.
The structure combines industrial materials like riveted sheet metal and concrete with architectural elements, creating a functional infrastructure landmark.
