Margaret Island Water Tower, Water tower on Margaret Island, Budapest, Hungary
The Margaret Island Water Tower rises 27 meters above the ground, featuring an iron basin with a capacity of 15,000 cubic meters of water.
Architect Szilárd Zielinski designed this iron-concrete water tower in 1911 as part of Budapest's infrastructure development during the early twentieth century.
The structure now serves as an exhibition space, displaying various art collections throughout the year in its chamber dome near the outdoor theater.
Visitors can access the Margaret Island Water Tower between 11:00 AM and 7:00 PM, with the location offering views across Budapest from its observation deck.
The tower maintained its water supply operations until 2003, standing as the tallest water tower in Hungary at 57 meters in height.
