The History of the Tower

The White Water Tower was designed by the architect Oscar Gundlach-Pedersen, who also designed two of Fredericia’s city gates. The tower was inaugurated on 2 January 1909 and remained in active use until 1994.

A building placed this high in Fredericia was once a rare sight. When the city functioned as an active fortress, buildings were not allowed to rise higher than the level of the ramparts, as this could create potential observation points for enemies.
