Taastrup Water Tower

The distinctive structure now serves as an observation tower and local landmark, readily visible when approaching Copenhagen from the west along Roskildevej.

The water tower was built in 1908 to a design by the architect Andreas Fussing as part of the local Taastrup waterworks.

The rest of the buildings at the site was demolished in 1997 but the water tower was once again spared.

They raised funds for another renovation of the building and in 2009 it opened its doors to the public as an Observation tower.
