The national monumental water tower (Monumentnummer 522366) and pumping station have been converted into Villa Augustus, a hotel and café-restaurant. The water basins between the towertower and the pumping station have been converted into a vegetable garden. The seasonal harvest from the organic garden determines the constantly changing menu.
