Vanadislundens vattenreservoar

The water reservoir features four corner towers and red Helsingborg brick walls on a substantial granite foundation, topped with glazed roof tiles.

Built between 1913 and 1918 to replace an 1879 reservoir, the structure increased water storage capacity from 5,000 to 8,100 cubic meters.

The building's design by architect Gustaf Améen integrates infrastructure needs with architectural elements that reflect Stockholm's early 1900s municipal developments.

Located at the highest point of Vanadislunden park, the reservoir elevates water 54 meters above sea level to maintain pressure in local distribution pipes.

In 1954, a broken cast iron valve caused eight million liters of water to escape, leading to emergency evacuations in neighboring areas.
