Hagenturm, Steel observation tower in Merishausen, Switzerland

The Hagenturm rises 40 meters into the sky, featuring a steel lattice construction that stands at 908 meters above sea level in Canton Schaffhausen.

Engineer Erwin Klaiber designed this tower in 1989, completing the construction within three weeks to replace an earlier federal surveying structure.

The tower serves as a central gathering point for the local community, where residents and visitors connect through shared experiences of nature exploration.

Visitors can climb the winding staircase to reach the observation deck, which provides views extending across the surrounding Swiss landscapes.

The structure stands 93 meters south of Canton Schaffhausen's highest point, marking a geographical milestone in the region.
