    The water tower from 1899 supplied the Cappenberg Castle from a deep well in the park. In 1927 the castle was connected to the public water supply. As a result, the tower lost its function.
    The tower is part of the Schloss Cappenberg monument. In 1992 it was restored. Today it offers a wonderful view as a lookout tower.

      The climb up the tower is blocked by a gate. Unfortunately, when we visited, inserting coins didn't open the gate.
      On another visit, it worked!
