Spending the night in a water tower

At one time there were nearly 300 water towers in the Netherlands alone. These tall towers were built to keep a constant pressure in the water supply system. Nowadays, the work of the water towers has been taken over almost everywhere by technical pumps, and many water towers have been demolished or given another purpose. Some of the water towers have been converted into unique places to stay overnight. Also on Vipio you can book several water towers for a special overnight stay by the water. The towers have a lot of space so you can often sleep with several people. The water towers are also often located in beautiful places and are therefore very suitable for a weekend break. And of course the view from such a water tower is absolutely amazing. Below we have selected a number of special water towers that can be booked directly on Vipio.

This water tower can be found in the center of Middelburg in the province of Zeeland. The water tower is over 130 years old and is a very striking building. The water tower offers a beautiful view of Middelburg and the island of Walcheren. In the water tower you will find a spacious apartment with all modern conveniences. In total, you can sleep 6 people in the water tower. If you really want to enjoy a spectacular view, you can take the stairs from the living room to the roof terrace (7th floor).

This monumental factory water tower is a relic of the "Koninklijke Plateelfabriek Zuid-Holland" (1898 to 1965) in Gouda.

The water tower was recently renovated and is now available for rent as the smallest water tower in the Netherlands. The water tower offers a romantic overnight stay for 2 people. An overnight stay in this water tower is unique and you will probably not soon forget. The water tower has everything for a special night.

This striking tower in the vast Groningen countryside was once used as a water mill and had to keep the fields dry. Nowadays, this polder mill is a B&B for couples, families (with children) and groups of up to 8 people. If you like peace and quiet then this is the perfect accommodation. This is because the tower is completely detached and there are no other (recreational) homes in the vicinity. The old water mill is located in rural surroundings on the border of Groningen and Drenthe. On one side the open meadows and fields and on the other side a forest with a small lake for swimming. Within 15 minutes you are in Groningen or Assen. View this water tower
