Drogenapstoren, Medieval water tower in Zutphen, Netherlands.
The Drogenapstoren reaches a height of 50 meters and features an internal water reservoir with a capacity of 180 cubic meters.
Originally constructed between 1444 and 1446 as a city gate named Saltpoort, the structure was converted into a water tower in 1888 and operated until 1927.
The tower received its current name from Tonis Drogenap, a town musician who resided in the building during the mid-16th century.
Located in central Zutphen, the tower stands near several historical buildings and serves as an orientation point for visitors exploring the medieval city center.
During World War II, the tower sustained damage from an explosion that affected a nearby weapons supply stored by resistance fighters.
