Château d'eau de Montmartre, Water tower in Montmartre, Paris, France.
The Château d'eau de Montmartre stands 43 meters tall with a distinctive Byzantine Revival architectural design featuring cornices, crenellations, and arcades on its concrete exterior.
Built in 1927 to replace an older water tower from 1835, this structure marked the modernization of Paris water infrastructure during the early twentieth century.
The water tower integrates with the artistic character of Montmartre, complementing the architectural style of the nearby Sacré-Cœur Basilica.
The structure contains three tanks storing 870 cubic meters of water, providing 2,000 cubic meters daily to upper Montmartre residents and businesses.
Since 2014, the tower serves a dual purpose by hosting radio broadcasting antennas for multiple Parisian community radio stations.
