The north tower, planned as a twin to the south tower (you can see in the background), has not been completed and is only half as tall, at 68 meters (223 feet). It was given a temporary cap that the Viennese call the "water tower top" when its construction paused in 1511. Construction has not yet resumed.

Chris, 'Construction has not yet resumed'. As it was already paused in 1511 we can wait at least another year (lol). Excellent capture! Regards, Cornelius

Sounds like they have decided not to go further with this one -
1511. No that is a hell of long cap on finishing the project. It really gives the impression of a scary movie effect. Very good post. > ♫ ♪ ♫ :)sandi ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫

Interesting. I wonder when they will finish it? ;) This is a very dramatic, foreboding image. I like it.
