Water tower, Delden

The Water tower in Delden is a striking structure located in the Netherlands that defines the skyline with its distinctive silhouette. It was designed with functional purpose to store and distribute water throughout the area.

The structure was designed and built in the late 1800s by architect Halbertsma. It developed from an early water supply concept into an important part of local infrastructure.

The tower displays neo-Renaissance style with decorative sculptures that shape its appearance. These artistic details give the building its distinctive character and visual appeal.

The tower is a landmark building on Watertorenstraat and can be seen from various points in town. Public access is not available, but it remains a worthwhile sight when walking through the area.

Although originally designed for firefighting purposes at a nearby estate, this function was never actually used. Instead it became part of the regular water supply network and has served the drinking water needs since.
