Svampen, Water tower and tourist attraction in Örebro, Sweden

The 58-meter-tall Svampen water tower features a mushroom-shaped design with an observation deck offering views over lake Hjälmaren and the city.

Built in 1958 by architect Sune Lindström, Svampen replaced two previous water towers, Norra Vattentornet and Södra Vattentornet, marking infrastructure advancement.

The tower represents Swedish modernist architecture of the 1950s and contains exhibitions about water management practices in the region.

Located at Dalbygatan 4, the tower includes a cafe serving daily specials for 98kr and maintains safety measures with protective nets around the edges.

As Sweden's first modern mushroom-shaped water tower, Svampen continues to function while simultaneously operating as a public observation point.
