As water towers go, this looked like an interesting one when we passed it on the Ringdijk on the ship - even if it was at a bit of a distance. At 41 meters high, it still does a good job of guarding the waters.
The structure was built around 1898, and is said to be done in a style related to the Dutch Renaissance. The tower is a national monument and thus protected by the government there.
Soon, though, it apparently will have a new look. The tower is part of a planned commercial project. We'll have to wait to see if it all comes together.
