Schoonhoven's water tower was built in 1901 in the Neo-Renaissance style with chalet influences and stands approximately 50 meters tall. Once part of the water supply system, it is now a national monument with residential functions and a holiday apartment. The tower is a striking landmark on the Lek River and a symbol of the city.
