Landskrona Water Tower

Landskrona Water Tower (also called the New Water Tower by local name, in order distinguish it from the old water tower in the city) is a water tower located in Landskrona, Sweden.[1]

The tower has a circumference of 49 m (161 ft), is 65.9 m (216 ft) high and was completed in 1970. It replaced the old water tower which was put out of use in 1975.[2]

The tower characterizes the city's skyline with its height and position next to the sea and can easily be viewed from the Danish side of the Øresund.[3] It has previously been open to public visits up to the top of the tower, but this was cancelled in the early 2000s due to safety issues.[4]

In 2015 there was an issue with pieces of concrete falling from the top of the tower. This was addressed in 2016 as the tower was clothed with a steel netting.[5]
