Amstelveenseweg water tower
The Amstelveenseweg water tower is a striking example of early 20th century industrial architecture. It was built in 1904 and originally served to supply water to the rapidly growing Amstelveen. The tower is not only a technical monument, but also an important part of the city's history. At 45 meters high, it offers an impressive view of the surrounding area.
What is particularly interesting is the fact that the water tower was converted into a residential building after it was decommissioned in the 1960s. This conversion shows how historical buildings can be preserved and integrated into modern use. The tower is surrounded by a small park that invites you to linger.
It's worth a visit not only for the architecture, but also for a better understanding of the region's water management. This makes the Amstelveenseweg water tower an exciting place for history buffs and photographers. Plan a visit and discover the historical diversity of this historic building.
