The Belcrum water tower, completed in 1935 in Breda, Netherlands, exemplifies the Amsterdam School architectural style. Located on Speelhuislaan, this functional structure was designed with the decorative and expressive principles characteristic of early twentieth-century Dutch modernism, which favored sculptural forms and attention to detail even in utilitarian buildings. Designated a Rijksmonument, the tower stands as a significant example of how the Netherlands integrated architectural ambition into essential urban infrastructure during the interwar period.
