The pride of the Bollenstreek<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
The Water Tower in Hillegom is an iconic building that has graced the landscape of the Bollenstreek for nearly 100 years. In the past, the 45-meter-tall tower played a crucial role in water storage and regulating water pressure, supporting a 660-cubic-meter water reservoir. Today, Watertoren Bollenstreek has given the building a new purpose. It is now an accessible and inspiring venue for meetings<\/a>, work<\/a>, events<\/a>, and also serves as a location where everyone deserves a chance. Here, we offer people the opportunity to work and develop in a supportive environment, while preserving the tower\u2019s rich history and contributing to the region\u2019s future.\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n\t\tBij Watertoren Bollenstreek kiezen we bewust voor partners die passen bij onze kernwaarden, zoals de @haarlemseparels en @oesterzwammerij. Dit zijn de makers van onze duurzame, vegan bitterballen \ud83c\udf31

Zij maken deze bitterballen van lokaal gekweekte oesterzwammen, geteeld op hergebruikt koffiedik. Een circulair en plantaardig product dat perfect aansluit bij onze focus op duurzaamheid en lokaal impact maken.
