Jakob Tower, Tourist watchtower in Char Fasson, Bangladesh

Jakob Tower is a 225-foot (69 m) steel watchtower on Char Fasson College Road, in front of the Khasmahal Mosque. Its 16 floors, built in the style of the Eiffel Tower, hold 50 visitors each and 500 in all. Clear 5 mm glass set in aluminium surrounds the climb from ground level to the dome-shaped watchpoint, reached by stairs or a capsule lift.

Construction began in February 2013 on one acre of land, funded at about 20 crore BDT and carried out by Char Fasson Municipality, with the design by architect Kamruzzaman Liton. On 16 May 2017 former commerce minister Tofail Ahmed visited the unfinished tower and named it after Bhola-4 MP Abdullah Al Islam Jakob; the sources give no completion date.

The tower was not named at the start of construction. On 16 May 2017, former commerce minister Tofail Ahmed visited the unfinished structure and named it after Abdullah Al Islam Jakob, the member of parliament for Bhola-4. The name stuck and now appears on signs at the site.

The tower stands on Char Fasson College Road, in front of Khasmahal Mosque, about 60 km from Bhola district town. Visitors climb via stairs or a capsule lift; the top has high-powered binoculars for distant views. The site covers one acre and the tower is 225 feet (69 m) tall.

The tower's top holds high-powered binoculars for spotting the protected forests of Char Kukri Mukri, Tarua Beach, Char Piyal on Monpura, and Nijhum Island. The structure rests on a cast-piling foundation 65 ft below ground and is built to withstand a magnitude 6 earthquake.
