Water tower icons of Finland: Suomi’s tallest Vesitornit

Listed below are the tallest water towers (vesitornit) of Finland that are a minimum of 10 meters tall. Among Finland’s water towers are several impressive mixed-use towers that contain both water storage and/or offices, educational facilities, and residences. These mostly mid-century modern styled towers include: Hyvinkään Vesitorni (1951); Heinolan Vesitorni (1951); Kemi City Hall (1952); Vesilinna Vesitorni (1952); Varkaus Vesitorni (1956); and the Raahen Tornitalo & Vesitorni (1958) – see images throughout the blogpost.

The adaptive reuse of old water towers is fairly common in Finland, particularly as observation/lookout towers. Interestingly, the water tower in Kerava/Tampere had a weather radar added to the top (see above), while another has been converted into a museum. As more information becomes available, the list will be updated accordingly. Several translations are also provided below.

Peace!

    Water tower wonders: Hungary’s tallest ‘Víztornyok’

    Kiskunhalas Víztorony (2015) – Source: Facebook.com

    Provided below is a working list of Hungary’s tallest water towers (víztornyok). These wondrous structures vary greatly in design based on the era they were built. They range from art nouveau of the 19th century, to socialist-era brutalism in the mid-20th century, to more recent post-modernism and high-tech styles.

    As the included photos show, structurally and architecturally, the water towers may appear to resemble everything from castles and lighthouses to mushrooms and UFOs. Similar to elsewhere in Europe, a number of the older water towers that are no longer in use for their original intent have been adapted for other uses including as housing, offices, observation towers, a museum, and even amusement park purposes.

    To remain consistent in the rankings, solely traditional/classic water tower designs were included in the list. More recent (post-WWII) rooftop water storage examples were not, other than the impressive Víztoronyház/Water Tower House in Budapest (see image below) for a comparison to the tallest water towers in the nation.

    Water towers with flair: Tallest ‘vattentorn’ of Sweden

    Arctura “The Thermos” – Source: kreativteknik.se

    Sweden has a wide-variety of beautiful water towers and continues to build architecturally stylish ones today. Over time brick and stone has eventually given way to concrete construction. Despite this conversion, many of the newer concrete water tower designs are quite breathtakingly beautiful.

    The images provided throughout the post will attest to the pride (and flair) Sweden puts into its water tower design and especially their care, upkeep, and maintenance. With translated names and nicknames like “Dare”, “Reflektion”, “the Thermos”, “Shelf”, “Echo”, “Blue Spider”, and “Mushroom”, it would be safe to safe that Sweden’s wonderful collection of water towers is among the most (if not the most) dynamic of all nations.

    Another important aspect of Swedish water towers is how many older ones have been adapted for new uses once their productive lifespan as a storage facility ended. Apartments, student housing, office buildings, condominiums, observation towers, and even an observatory are just some of the reuses employed there. It’s too bad such preservation and adaptation efforts are not utilized more often here in the United States. The brick and concrete construction materials likely lend themselves better to adaptive reuse than metal and composite materials.

    It was also impressive to notice older water towers being reimagined, reinvigorated, and reused for water storage by employing newer designs during updating and restoration programs. See the example from the Stockholm suburb of Tensta just below.

    The most common water tower heights identified tended to fall between 20 and 32 meters (66-105 feet) in height, though there are a vast range in heights. The list provided does not include railway water tanks/towers nor water towers below 10 meters in height. A glossary of common Swedish terms you may see while reading the list has been provided, as well. As more data is located, the list will be updated accordingly.

    Peace!

    Tallest historic water towers of Scotland

    Scotland has a remarkably small number of water towers for a country of 5.5 million residents. Most appear to be centered in and around Glasgow.

    According to several AI resources, the limited number of water towers is in part due to Scotland’s hilly/mountainous terrain which allows for gravity flow of water from reservoirs and is also due to its wet climate constantly replenishing those same reservoirs. In some places, underground storage is used as well.

    The three tallest historic water towers in Scotland are all located at current and former hospital sites in Glasgow. Meanwhile brutalist designs appear to be the most common architectural style in the mid-20th century.

    Peace!

    Tallest historic vandtårn (water towers) of Denmark

    Provided below is a working list of the tallest historic vandtårn (water towers) in Denmark. A minimum height of 10 meters was required for inclusion. The dates of original completion range from as early as 1877 up to 1992. When height information is found for the water towers at the end of the index, they will be added to the main list.

    Viewing the photographs of these towers online, many resemble lighthouses, which would tend to make sense given Denmark is nearly surrounded by water. Though only in one instance identified was a water tower and lighthouse combined into one structure. Castle-like turrets also appear to be a common architectural feature.

    Peace!
