Ernst Moritz Arndt Tower, Observation tower on Rugard hill in Bergen auf Rügen, Germany.

The brick tower rises 26.7 meters into the sky, featuring three viewing platforms and a glass dome at its summit.

The construction of the tower started in 1872 after a committee formed to commemorate the 100th anniversary of poet Ernst Moritz Arndt's birth.

Master builder Hermann Eggert from Berlin created the architectural design, incorporating elements that reflect German architectural traditions of the 1870s.

Visitors can access the tower daily from May to October between 10 AM and 6 PM, with admission prices of 1.50 euros for adults.

The tower provides maps inside its glass dome to help visitors identify landmarks across Rügen Island from different viewing directions.
