Château d'eau de Luçon, Art Nouveau water tower in Luçon, France
The water reservoir of 500 cubic meters sits atop a reinforced concrete structure measuring 25 meters tall, decorated with molded ceramics and lion heads.
Built between 1912 and 1913 by René Guinaudeau and architect J. Bardin, the tower initially supplied water to a cavalry barracks in the town.
The construction employs the Hennebique reinforced concrete system, representing a significant technical advancement in early 20th century French architecture.
The monument stands on Avenue du Président-Wilson and offers views from two facades, though interior access remains restricted for safety reasons.
The reservoir features 24 compartments arranged across three levels around a central tank, displaying an exceptional technical design for its time.
