Elving Tower, Observation tower in Kouvola, Finland.
The Elving Tower stands over 20 meters tall and provides panoramic views of the Kymenlaakso countryside from its observation platform.
Rudolf Elving commissioned the construction of this octagonal cement brick tower between 1905 and 1907 for forest management and fire surveillance purposes.
The Finnish Heritage Agency has designated the tower as a culturally significant building, representing early 20th-century architectural characteristics.
The tower opens from May through September, with access available through Kasperintie 1 in Valkeala, featuring facilities for wheelchairs and strollers.
During World War II, the tower served as an air surveillance post before falling into disrepair until local organizations restored it in 1994.
