Water tower
“The Colmar water tower is representative of the Wilhelminian neo-Gothic style, typical of the period of annexation of Alsace by the German Empire after the 1870 war. This massive tower, 53 metres high, built between 1884 and 1886 under the supervision of the architect J.B. Huen and the engineer H. Grüner, remains the oldest and most imposing of the surviving water towers in Alsace. With a capacity of 1200 m³, its reservoir ceased to be used in 1984.”
