Water tower, Water tower on Amersfoortse Berg, Netherlands

The cylindrical water tower, constructed with brick walls and stone lintels, reaches 17 meters in height with a diameter of 12 meters.

Built in 1912, this structure marked the establishment of Amersfoort's independent water supply company, separate from the Utrecht Water Supply Company.

The tower features neo-Romanesque architectural elements, including round-arched friezes and lesenes, representing early 20th-century Dutch municipal infrastructure.

Located at Utrechtseweg 174, the tower contains a steel Intze I type reservoir with a storage capacity of 700 cubic meters of water.

The tower's unusually low height results from its strategic position on the highest point of Amersfoortse Berg at 44 meters above sea level.

Location: Amersfoort

Address: Utrechtseweg 174
