Watertower Badhuisstraat 187 Vlissingen

This historic water tower in Vlissingen, Zeeland, dates back to 1896 and has been renovated into a holiday accommodation for large groups. The tower stands 36 meters tall and features 7 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 5 toilets, making it well suited for families, groups of friends, or gatherings that need a bit of extra space. A meeting room accommodates up to 12 people, and there is a garden and a kids' area on the grounds.

Inside, the original water barrel has been preserved, with windows on all sides that frame views of the city and beyond. At the top of the tower, on clear days, you can see as far as the sea near the boulevard. The climb to the top rewards you with a panoramic look at Vlissingen's cityscape that few other accommodations in the region can match.

The building carries a lot of its original industrial character, and the renovation has kept much of that intact rather than replacing it with something generic. You sleep in a structure that was once central to the city's infrastructure, and that history is present throughout the stay, from the architecture of the stairwell to the views from the upper levels.

This accommodation suits groups looking for something out of the ordinary, whether that is a family reunion, a gathering of friends, or a working retreat that needs both sleeping quarters and a meeting space in one building.
