Mosebacke vattentorn

The octagonal tower rises 32 meters tall and features narrow niches, granite corner plinths, and red Helsingborg brick cladding on its exterior walls.

Architect Ferdinand Boberg designed this water tower in 1896 to increase water pressure for buildings located on the higher elevations of Katarina Hill.

The tower stands near Mosebacke Square, which developed into a central point for Stockholm's entertainment and social gatherings during the late 19th century.

The structure contains a water reservoir with a capacity of 104,000 liters and continues to function as a pump station in its lower section.

The tower's original engineer residence has been transformed into private housing while maintaining its external architectural characteristics from the industrial period.
