Gömnitzer Turm, Historical tower in Süsel, Germany.

The Gömnitzer Turm stands 12 meters tall on Gömnitzberg, constructed with 20,000 bricks upon a foundation of field stones at an elevation of 78 meters.

Built between 1826 and 1827, the tower replaced a large navigation tree called Major that was destroyed by natural forces in 1815.

The structure appears on the coat of arms of Süsel municipality and received cultural monument status on March 24, 1969 after local preservation efforts.

Since 1993, visitors can access the observation tower and view Holstein Switzerland landscape and Lübeck Bay through four strategically placed openings.

The tower functioned as a sea mark for ships navigating Lübeck Bay, positioned at coordinates 54.1108 latitude and 10.7431 longitude.
