Rõuge Watchtower, Observation watchtower in Rõuge Rural Municipality, Estonia.
The Pesapuu Watchtower rises 30 meters above ground level near Rõuge Suurjärv, offering views across the valleys and lakes of southeastern Estonia.
The current steel structure replaced a wooden watchtower in 2015, marking a new era in the observation facilities of the Rõuge municipality.
The structure features two platforms designed as bird nests, reflecting the Estonian connection to nature through architectural elements and visual symbolism.
The lower platform accommodates 15 visitors while the upper section holds 25 people, with year-round access and special illumination during nighttime.
Local authorities mark births in the community by illuminating the upper nest in pink or blue to match the gender of newborn children.
