Product description

The water towers on the Eiland van Dordrecht were of great importance to the health and hygiene of the inhabitants of Dordrecht and Dubbeldam. Because of their arrival, drinking water no longer had to be taken from polluted ditches and harbours, but came from the tap.

Improved techniques within the water supply company made them redundant. But in the 21st century, a new phase in the history of the towers began. Both water towers now serve as hotels.
