  18. Estonia’s Water Towers (Veetornid): Soviet-era Modernism and More!

    Listed below are identified water towers (veetoenid) of Estonia. There are likely more than listed, but these are the ones found to date from resources across the internet. As additional information is collected, the list will be updated accordingly.

    What quickly becomes apparent when researching water towers in Estonia, are the substantial Soviet-era water tower residences (veetorn-elamu). These formidable modernist buildings place a large storage water tank atop a multi-story residential high-rise. The veetorn-elamu are often the tallest building in the city/town where they were built. Examples from below include towers in Narva, Kuressaare, Paide, Vändra, Tabasalu, and Viljandi.

    Putting an adaptive reuse twist on the mix of water tower and residences, the two images above show the historic 1914 Erika Street “Arsenal” Veetorn in Tallin, which is being converted from a water tower into a residential tower with added units atop the base structure. The project is expected to be completed in 2027.

    Peace/Rahu!
