Water tower, built in 1933 for the municipal water company founded in 1932. The tower was designed by ir. H. Sangster and executed by C. van Prooyen in Barendrecht. The tower stands on top of a dune and is no longer used as a water tower. Traces of war damage are visible on the facades.

Description

The 28.5 meter high tower has a round cross-section with a slight reduction in the outer diameter towards the top. The concrete reservoir has a flat bottom and is supported by five concrete columns. This skeleton is encased by a yellow brick outer wall on a dark red brick plinth.

Various facade openings are accentuated or framed with concrete. Above the reservoir is a gallery for use as a viewing tower. The tower is closed by a spherical cap covered with copper.

The entrance is on the southwest side. The round-arched entrance has a concrete frame and a simple wooden door. On the level of the first floor there are a few narrow high windows.

The water tower in Domburg, in the Dutch province of Zeeland, was designed by Hendrik Sangster and built in 1933 for the water 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 Middelburg Municipal Water Supply Company, which operated a water abstraction area in the current Oranjezon nature reserve. On 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. There is no road that can be accessed by third parties. The tower was severely damaged in the Second World War. The closed holes are still clearly visible. The color of the upper part comes from the oxidized copper roofing sheets. The tower is privately owned and has been completely renovated. The copper roof plates have been renewed and some windows have been added. The water tower currently serves as an apartment. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watertoren_(Domburg)
