The water tower at Ceintuurbaan is a red brick structure with a cylindrical form and tall windows that characterize its exterior. The building combines functional industrial design with careful architectural details that reflect craftsmanship from the late 1800s.

The tower was designed in 1892 by architect Jan Anthony Mulock Houwer to improve Deventer's water supply system. This project was part of a broader effort to modernize the city's infrastructure during that period.

The structure received national recognition as a Rijksmonument in 1983, joining numerous protected heritage sites throughout the Netherlands.
