Water tower, Water tower in Újpest district, Hungary
The 27-meter high concrete and iron water tower features a large basin capable of storing 15,000 cubic meters of water at its peak.
Between 1911 and 1912, architects Győző Mihailich and Ödön Dümmerling designed this structure when Újpest operated as an independent town near Budapest.
The water tower represents early 20th-century engineering advancement in Budapest, combining iron-concrete technology with functional industrial architecture.
Located in northern Budapest, the structure closed its water operations in 2003 but remains accessible through the local public transportation network.
During World War II, Hungarian partisans prevented the tower's destruction by seizing explosives stored inside, protecting the water supply for local residents.
