Tilburg water tower, Water tower from 1897 in Tilburg, Netherlands.
The Tilburg water tower is a brick structure completed in 1897 that rises 50.5 meters above the city. It holds a water reservoir with a capacity of 1000 cubic meters, which supplied the growing municipality with fresh water.
The tower was built in 1897 to serve as the foundation of the city's first public water system. During World War II, German forces damaged it significantly in 1944, but it was later repaired and restored.
The tower reflects the industrial growth of Tilburg and the arrival of modern water infrastructure to the city. It shows how the municipality invested in services that made urban life more comfortable for residents.
The tower is located at Bredaseweg 207 and has been a national monument since 2002, making it easy to spot in the city landscape. Its height and position make it a helpful landmark for finding your way around the area.
The entrance displays neo-Renaissance decorative details designed by architect H.P.N. Halbertsma, who created multiple water towers across the Netherlands. His work gave these practical structures an ornamental appearance that set them apart from ordinary industrial buildings.
