Slottsskogens vattentorn, Water tower in Slottskogen, Gothenburg, Sweden.
The cylindrical stone structure rises prominently on a hill in Slottskogen park, featuring a circular viewing platform at the top of its 63 steps.
Architects Adrian C. Peterson and Carl Crispin designed this water supply facility in 1899 to serve the Masthugget neighborhood's requirements for drinking water and fire emergencies.
The watchtower functions as a reference point for Gothenburg residents, connecting the modern city with its industrial heritage through guided summer tours.
Located 80 meters above sea level, the tower opens during summer months when visitors can climb to experience 360-degree views of Gothenburg and Göta Älv River.
The structure combines two distinct functions as both a water storage tank and the first viewing tower built in Gothenburg, marking a technological advancement in urban infrastructure.
