Art Deco water tower with a capacity of 850 cubic metres, built in 1936 by the architect Roland Foucart and the engineer Jean Desgains, and renovated in 2007. On a double-stepped base, its tall square tower of brick and concrete is punctuated by pseudo-buttresses of glass bricks. Beneath the flat roof, the triple-stepped circular tank, slightly corbelled out, is lit by three windows; a large cartouche names those who initiated and designed the structure.
