This monumental factory water tower is a relic of the "Koninklijke Plateelfabriek Zuid-Holland" (1898 to 1965) in Gouda. The 1920's water tower was long used by the factory's fire department as a water reservoir to increase the water pressure in the pipeline during extinguishing operations. The water tower has recently been completely renovated and is now available for guests as the smallest residential tower in the Netherlands.

The interior of the tower fits perfectly with the over 100-year-old building. Upon entering the water tower you enter the kitchen which is equipped with a refrigerator, a sink and an electric stove. On the first floor is a spacious toilet and shower. The beautiful steel spiral staircase with old wooden steps takes you to the intimate lounge floor with a sofa and TV. The French doors give access to the wide balcony, where you can enjoy the afternoon sun. The final climb leads to the tower bedroom with a double bed. Four large windows give a spectacular view of the square, a piece of the Gouda harbor and the streets of Koningshof, right from the bed. Enjoy the comfortable space and relax there watching a movie after a pleasant day enjoying the Gouda city center.

You can make unlimited use of coffee, tea, and water. The first bottle of a fine wine is included. If you like the wine, you can buy another bottle from our exquisite selection. Also included in the booking is a light self-service breakfast with orange juice, crackers, gingerbread, cold cuts, cheese spread, jam and chocolate sprinkles. It is not a full breakfast, but enough to start the day. There is also a 1-pan electric stove and two small pans to heat up food you brought along. Of course, you can also pick up food in the immediate vicinity or have it delivered.

The water tower is an excellent base for discovering Gouda and the region. Located in a pleasant, quiet city district, within walking distance of the train station and the old center, where you will find a wide range of restaurants, stores, and the Gouda market. Discover "The Green Heart" by bike, or make a trip to nearby neighboring cities such as Oudewater, Utrecht, Rotterdam or The Hague.

Attention:
One day before arrival, you will receive a personal pin code to open the door.
The tower has a steep staircase, so walking-impaired persons may have difficulties reaching the tower bedroom.
