Facts and practical information

The water tower in Domburg, in the Dutch province of Zeeland, was designed by Hendrik Sangster and built in 1933 on behalf of the water supply company of the municipality of Domburg. The tower is 28.5 m high and has a storage capacity of 200 m³.

The municipality of Domburg purchased the drinking water from the municipal water company of Middelburg, which exploited a water extraction area in the current nature reserve Oranjezon. At the Noordweg between Serooskerke and Vrouwenpolder, the water intended for Domburg was isolated in a reservoir and transported via a pumping station to the water tower in Domburg. The water tower put the pressure on the water in the pipes to the house connections.

The tower is a national monument and cannot be visited. It is currently located in the middle of the nature reserve De Manteling van Walcheren. There is no road accessible to third parties. The tower was severely damaged during the Second World War. The closed holes are still clearly visible. The color of the top comes from the oxidized copper roofing sheets. The tower is privately owned and has been completely renovated. The copper roofing sheets have been renewed and some windows have been added. The water tower currently serves as an apartment.
