Water tower Den Helder
Description
Hello, I design these things for free and for fun. Please use the designs for private use only. Printed something? Please let me know and share a photo! The new water tower in the North Holland town of Den Helder was designed by architect Jan Schotel and was built in 1908. It replaced the old water tower from 1856. It stands in the center of the city next to the De Vijfsprong roundabout. When it was built it stood on the border between buildings and meadows. The water tower has a height of 40.15 meters and has a water reservoir of 400 m³. In 1958 a plan was devised to renovate the tower. A plan was made by Architect J.H.J. Kording to give the tower a new water reservoir and a concrete layer on the outside. The tower was rebuilt from 1959 to 1961. The water tower was taken out of use at the end of the 1980s and sold to the municipality of Den Helder. There was a cafe on the ground floor of the water tower for a few years. After the café closed, the inside of the water tower was used as a climbing wall. The tower was renovated again in 2005, this time the concrete layer has been removed and the tower is covered with bricks, making the tower almost the same as when it was built in 1908. (wikipedia)
