Hagalunds vattentorn, Water tower in Hagalund, Solna, Sweden
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.
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.
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.
The tower stands on Hagalundsberget, 62 metres above sea level, and is not open to the public. It can be seen from the surrounding streets of the Hagalund district in Solna. The nearest public transport is Hagalund station on the Tvärbanan line.
The tower's reservoir held 250 cubic metres, and the building also included a two-room-and-kitchen flat for the engineer. In recent years Rosie Björkman used the tower for her witchcraft association's occult activities.
