Water Tower Tour

Visit the Delft water tower accompanied by an experienced tour guide. This tour takes you through the Kalverbos and tells the history of this place in relation to Delft drinking water and the development of the drinking water supply around the Industrial Revolution. The Delft water tower (1895) made an important contribution to the development of Delft, in particular by providing clean drinking water from the dunes of Monster and thus ended a continuous series of cholera epidemics. The tour ends on top of the water tower with a spectacular view over Delft and its surroundings.

A guided tour (private company) can be reserved for €200 (group size up to 20 people) by sending an email to educator Fleur Knops via education@radius-cca.org.
