Built in 1904 in Szeged, Hungary, this water tower stands as a striking example of Art Nouveau architecture rendered in reinforced concrete. Designed by Flóris Korb and Kálmán Giergl, the tower rises 54.9 meters and remains a designated historic monument of Hungary. Its innovative use of concrete construction reflects both the practical engineering demands of early twentieth-century urban infrastructure and the stylistic ambitions of the Art Nouveau movement.
