Trelleborg Old Water Tower

[1] The erection of the water tower was initiated 1911 after drawings by the architect Ivar Tengbom, and was finished 1912.

Since the town of Trelleborg lies in flat surroundings the tower had to be tall; it is 58 metres (190 ft) tall and is the largest building in Trelleborg.

The uppermost three meters of the building is a copper-plated spire, a spire decorated by two spheres – one being 40 centimetres (16 in) in diameter, the other 60 centimetres (24 in) in diameter.

Except a café at street level the water tower stands unused.
