Jakob Tower, Tourist watchtower in Char Fasson, Bangladesh

Jakob Tower is a watchtower in Char Fasson with 16 floors offering views that stretch up to 100 kilometers in every direction. The structure has a solid modern design and provides sweeping views of the surrounding delta landscape and coastal areas.

Construction started in 2013 and finished in 2018, with architect Kamruzzaman Liton designing the structure on deep foundations. A senior government official visited the completed site and the tower was named after a prominent local politician.

The tower was named after a local member of parliament and has become a gathering point where people come to understand their surroundings from above. Its presence has changed how the community relates to the landscape around them.

The tower can be reached by stairs or elevator depending on your preference and ability. Visitors should know that opening hours vary by day of the week, so it is worth checking ahead before you go.

The rooftop is equipped with high-powered binoculars that let visitors spot distant places like beaches and protected coastal forests from above. These binoculars reveal details that the naked eye cannot see and make the panorama much more rewarding to explore.

Floors above the ground: 16
