Watertoren, Goes

The water tower on 's Gravenpolderseweg in Goes is an industrial structure featuring two separate storage reservoirs for water distribution. The building displays typical characteristics of early 20th-century Dutch engineering design with its distinctive vertical form.

The structure was built in the early 20th century to supply growing water needs for the city of Goes. After being decommissioned, it gained protection as a national monument reflecting the city's infrastructure evolution.

The water tower received the Rijksmonument designation, placing it under protection of Dutch heritage laws to maintain its architectural and historical value.

The tower sits in residential areas and is easy to reach on foot. As a decommissioned structure, the exterior can be viewed at any time, best during daylight hours.

For many decades, the tower was among the tallest structures in Goes and shaped the city's profile significantly. Its design reflected a practical Dutch approach where functional engineering created its own visual character.
