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.
Height of the observation deck: 135 m above sea level NN
Tower height: approx.25.00 m
Tower diameter below: approx.7.00 m
Tower diameter above: approx.5.70m
Wall thickness below: approx. 1.10 m
Wall thickness above: approx.0.45 m

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!
