Slottsfjellstårnet, Stone tower on Slottsfjellet hill in Tønsberg, Norway.
Slottsfjellstårnet is a stone tower standing on a hilltop in Tønsberg that rises approximately 17 meters high. From the top, you can see across the Vestfold region and the Norwegian coast.
The tower was built in 1888, but the site has much older roots as a royal residence from the Viking Age. The earlier fortress left foundations that support the structure standing today.
The tower serves as a gathering place for local events where people celebrate the region's identity and heritage. It draws visitors who want to connect with the area's historical significance.
The tower is accessible from town center via marked walking paths that lead up the hillside. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since the route involves some climbing.
Some of the stone blocks used to build the tower came from the medieval castle that previously stood on this site. This reuse of materials creates a physical link between two different time periods.
