Stocksunds vattentorn, Watertoren in Danderyd Municipality, Zweden.
Stocksunds vattentorn is a round structure with light yellow exterior walls situated on a hillside between Bergstigen and Donnerstigen streets. The building contains residential spaces across multiple floors with the original water tank positioned at the top.
This structure was built in 1910 using reinforced concrete and supplied water to the area for more than 50 years. When the municipality switched to the Görvälns water system from Lake Mälaren in 1960, it stopped serving this essential function.
The tower is named after the Stocksund area where it stands, and it remains a visible landmark in the neighborhood today. Local residents view it as a characteristic element of their everyday environment.
The tower is accessible from Bergstigen and Donnerstigen streets and is located in a hilly residential area. A daytime visit allows you to see the structure and its surroundings most clearly.
In its early years, visitors could climb to the copper-clad observation platform at the top for a modest fee. This paid access was a common way to maintain and fund the structure before it transitioned to residential use.
