The Albert Tower, Heritage tower in Maughold, Isle of Man.
The Albert Tower stands 45 feet tall, constructed from local slate and granite on Lhergy Frissell hill overlooking the town of Ramsey.
Built in 1848 following Prince Albert's visit in 1847, the tower commemorates the first Royal visit to Ramsey while Queen Victoria remained on the ship.
The structure features an inscription detailing Prince Albert's presence and includes architectural elements from Claughbane quarry slate and South Barrule stones.
Located at 130 meters altitude, the tower remains closed to internal access due to the deteriorated condition of the internal staircase.
During World War II, the Home Guard used this commemorative structure as a strategic observation post for monitoring the surrounding area.
