Elevated water tank with a great exterior façade in “Schlössle” look, with a great view of Freiburg: View of the Schlossberg, the Minster and the two city gates.

The Freiburg Wasserschlössle is located above the district of Wiehre in Sternwald. However, the facade is just camouflage. Behind it there is no real castle with a prince and a carriage, but a lot of water. An elevated tank has been used to supply drinking water to the east of Freiburg since 1895. As with the Bächle, the water flows without pumps, only through the natural gradient to the households. The model for the design was a Freiburg city seal from the year 1245. The fountain in front of the castle offers a taste of the cool water.
