Poldertoren, Water tower and tourist attraction in Emmeloord, Netherlands.
The Poldertoren stands 65 meters tall with an octagonal shape, featuring a distinctive gold-plated copper windvane shaped like a cog ship at its crown.
Built between 1958 and 1959, the tower resulted from a design competition won by Amsterdam architect H. van Gent in 1950 for Waterleiding Mij Overijssel.
The 48 bells of the carillon were funded through community donations, with the largest bell weighing 2382 kilograms named Juliana Regina.
Visitors can climb 243 steps to reach the observation platform at 43.4 meters, offering views across the Noordoostpolder region.
The tower holds multiple functions as a water reservoir, carillon housing, and observation point, while featuring architectural elements of the Delft School.
