Watertoren Stadskanaal
Drinking water from Stadskanaal came from lower Onnen. To get this water to Stadskanaal and pump it on to other places from there, a powerful pump was needed.

With the arrival of the water tower (in 1935), such a powerful pump became less necessary. The water reservoir above the tower also made it possible to accommodate fluctuations in water consumption. The tower is 42.67 metres high and was designed by H.F. Mertens in the Amsterdam School style. This is clearly evident, amongst other things, from the red bricks used. The water reservoir has a capacity of 900 m³.
