Hagalunds vattentorn, Water tower in Hagalund, Solna, Sweden
Description
Hagalunds water tower is a 62-meter structure built on Hagalundsberget with a reservoir capacity of 250 cubic meters and National Romantic architectural style. It contained a two-room apartment for the machinery operator.
History
Built in 1911 and opened in 1912, the tower was created after local wells ran dry during railway tunnel construction. It supplied water from Frösundavik's esker to the region until operations ceased in the 1930s.
Culture
The tower was designed by architects Ivar Tengbom and Ernst Torulf, who gave it National Romantic features that shape the residential area's appearance. Its presence shows the skill and care that went into its construction.
Practical
This monument can be viewed from the outside, as the interior is not open to the public. The best views are from the surrounding streets of the residential area.
Did you know?
The structure once contained a small apartment for the tower keeper, an unusual feature in this type of building. Today this rare living space within an engineering work stands silent, a remnant of a world that has long since vanished.
