Tirtanadi Water Tower, Dutch colonial water tower in central Medan, Indonesia
The red brick tower stands 42 meters high with iron pillars supporting a red and white water tank at the intersection of Sisingamangaraja street.
The Dutch company NV Water Leiding Maatschappij Ajer Beresih constructed this water reservoir between 1905 and 1908 to supply water to colonial residents.
The Ministry of Education and Culture declared the tower a protected cultural heritage site in 2008, recognizing its role in Medan's development.
Visitors can access the tower daily from 08:00 to 16:00 with permission from security personnel, and no entrance fee is required.
The structure contains a reservoir capable of holding 1,200 cubic meters of water and continues to function as part of Medan's water supply system.
