Torii-Tower, Communication tower in Gusborn, Germany.

The Torii-Tower rises 97 meters into the sky with a steel lattice structure featuring two parallel vertical supports connected by horizontal beams.

Built in 1972, this tower was initially manufactured in the United States for deployment in Vietnam before its final installation in Lower Saxony.

The tower draws its name from Japanese shrine gates, reflecting an architectural influence that sets it apart from other German communication structures.

The structure functions as a broadcasting facility for emergency services and mobile communications, operating at an elevation of 48 meters above sea level.

Originally intended for a different continent, this double tower structure now stands as a vital telecommunications hub in northern Germany.
