Kareol had a high water tower that could be seen from the train and was built in 1908 by a German-born
Amsterdammer, the banker and chairman of the
Wagnervereniging, Julius Carl Bunge. It was situated in a park with a small forest. Kareol was built from 1907 until 1911. The architects S. Silow and A. Lundberg made the first sketches. Already in 1907 the German artist, designer and architect
Max Laeuger took over the building site when the foundation walls were built. He not only developed an extensive decoration programme that included the interior, tiles, and light fixtures, but also designed the large garden. Twenty years later an apartment building was built on the same spot. The park grounds have been preserved.
