Splendid water towers (waassertierm) in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
Source: behance.net and luxtimes.luWell now. It appears that the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a serious contender in the race to build the most impressive, remarkable, and awe-inspiring water towers in the world. Just a quick review of the images included within this post shows the incredible range of architectural styles that can be found in just 998 square miles.
While water towers in North America far too often appear to be carbon copies or rubber stamps of one another, Luxembourg clearly demonstrates how spirited inspiration can be beautifully melded into engineering function. Bravo!
While French and German are common languages in Luxembourg, this post “primarily” uses the national language, Luxembourgish, for local terms, such as:
- Waassertuerm = water tower
- Waassertierm = water towers
Though, readers will note the use of “Château d’eau” in francophone areas of the country.
The following list identifies the tallest of these amazing water towers. As information is found on the others (new and old), the list will be updated accordingly.
Peace/Fridden!

Water tower wonders: Hungary’s tallest ‘Víztornyok’
Kiskunhalas Víztorony (2015) – Source: Facebook.comProvided below is a working list of Hungary’s tallest water towers (víztornyok). These wondrous structures vary greatly in design based on the era they were built. They range from art nouveau of the 19th century, to socialist-era brutalism in the mid-20th century, to more recent post-modernism and high-tech styles.
Gulyás Utca Víztorony – Source: reddit/structuralengineering,comAs the included photos show, structurally and architecturally, the water towers may appear to resemble everything from castles and lighthouses to mushrooms and UFOs. Similar to elsewhere in Europe, a number of the older water towers that are no longer in use for their original intent have been adapted for other uses including as housing, offices, observation towers, a museum, and even amusement park purposes.
Mezőtúr Víztorony – Source: commons.wikimedia.orgTo remain consistent in the rankings, solely traditional/classic water tower designs were included in the list. More recent (post-WWII) rooftop water storage examples were not, other than the impressive Víztoronyház/Water Tower House in Budapest (see image below) for a comparison to the tallest water towers in the nation.

As you can see the speed of my LTE plus provider is now at about half of what it should be.
A non-technical person would complain. I know that the data provider is using something that we call overboeking {NL}
That literally means that they allow way too many devices to be pooled together which drops down the speed dramatically (a bit more than 50%).If however you take into account that that same provider gives you on UTP cable a bandwidth that's not even enough to fill a 1.2 TB hard drive {10 MBit} with data in 28 days you know that this speed is still much much better than what they would sell you on obsolete xDSL
The power company had done everything that the data Company needed to run passive Fiber cable in the street. The data Company uses Fiber Access Terminals, to connect the houses with the main fiber optic cable that they run in the air. From the smaller cable that comes to your house you get a small breakdown interface that translates, converts the light based data into copper for which they also sell you meager speeds; things like 48 megabits for which they want more than 100% of the money that you pay them for the obsolete xDSL
The power company replaced all the electrical masts required, because they needed certain levels of quality that the old masts did not provide. The Power Company also did the work in less and 50% of the time where retaining safety for everyone and everything

The tower of the Bishop's Palace in Kirkwall, Orkney doesn't look very high, but it is quite high enough once you are up there, thank you very much.
(I'm not scared of heights so much as getting anxious in places where me, camera or phone could fall down and be damaged or lost. Which is quite, reasonable I think.
