Nelson Mandela Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The old bridge was one of the ultimate weeping trip tips. Unfortunately, the roof is now gone.

Water tower De Tien Gemeenten was built in 1927 to a design by architect A.H. Wegerif in collaboration with Delft professor C. Visser and architect A.H. Goldberg.

The assignment was given by the Drinking Water Supply De Tien Gemeenten Foundation. In 1921 ten municipalities had developed plans for a water supply from the Wassenaar dunes on the initiative of Zoetermeer and Zegwaar. To put pressure on the pipe, a container with water at a great height was needed and that became the water tower. The arms of the ten municipalities adorn the entrance. The tower was decommissioned in the early 1990s.

The municipal monument is about 45 meters high and rests on 324 piles that average 14 meters
The water reservoir is located at the point where the tower's octagonal shape changes into a sixteen-sided shape. The reservoir is made of reinforced concrete and has a capacity of 500,000 liters.
