The Albert Tower, Heritage tower in Maughold, Isle of Man.

The Albert Tower is a stone structure built on a hill above Ramsey, constructed from local slate and granite materials. The exterior remains visible and accessible from the surrounding paths, though the interior cannot be entered due to the condition of the internal stairs.

Prince Albert stood on Lhergy Frissell on 20 September 1847 while Queen Victoria remained on their ship offshore. The 45-foot tower was built in 1848 to mark the spot; its foundation stone was laid by Mrs Eden, wife of Bishop Robert Eden, and George W. Buck designed it at a cost of £300. It was registered as a Manx Registered Building on 27 January 2003.

The tower is named after Prince Albert, who visited the spot on 20 September 1847 while Queen Victoria stayed on their ship offshore. Its inscription records that it was erected where he stood to view Ramsey. Since 2005 the tower has appeared on an Isle of Man two pence coin.

The location sits on a hill that offers good views of the surrounding area. Visitors should expect a gentle walk uphill to reach the structure and enjoy the outlook over the landscape.

During World War II, the structure served as an observation post for local defense efforts. This military use is often overlooked when visitors learn about the tower's more famous royal connection.
