Kaukolanharju Lookout Tower, Observation tower in Tammela, Finland.
The 21-meter tall observation tower stands on Kaukolanharju ridge, reaching 140 meters above sea level in the Häme Lake Uplands region.
Constructed in 1926 following the Finnish Tourist Association's call to build observation towers, the structure opened with ceremonies including speeches, songs, and poetry.
The location inspired Albert Edelfelt's notable painting 'Kaukola Ridge at Sunset' in 1889, now exhibited at the Finnish National Gallery Ateneum in Helsinki.
The tower opens during summer months with entrance fees of 5 euros for adults and 3 euros for children between 7 and 12 years old.
During the Winter War, the tower served as an air surveillance post before returning to its primary function as a tourist destination.
