Pompentoren Ichtegem
.
The Pompentoren in Eernegem, Belgium, is a former pump tower transformed into a lookout point as part of the Horizon 2025 project. The project aims to enhance tourism by creating a network of landscape lookout towers. The Pompentoren, once used to transport fresh water to steam locomotives, was abandoned in 1986. Its transformation preserves the tower's history and identity while creating a new function. The lower part of the tower is connected to the local landscape, while the upper section offers views of the coastal region, symbolizing the connection between fresh and saltwater. The design balances heritage preservation with modern innovation.
