The water tower at "Dronningen's Bastion" is a unique example of contemporary industrial construction at its best. It was declared worthy of preservation in 1997 and is unique because its sanitary facilities are largely intact. As far as is known, it is the only water tower in Denmark with a preserved water tank made of riveted steel plates.

Originally, the town was supplied with drinking water from the castle lake.
From here, it was piped in drilled oak logs connected by iron sleeves

to the various water taps in the town.
