Oscarsborg, Söderhamn, Observation tower in Söderhamn, Sweden.
The 23-meter-high brick and plaster tower stands on Östra Berget, offering views across the Söderhamn Municipality and surrounding landscapes.
Local engineer Gustaf Hultquist designed the tower, which opened in 1895 following community fundraising efforts through folk festivals in 1893 and 1894.
The tower represents a combination of late 19th-century engineering and community initiative, marking the collaboration between Söderhamns Sångförening and local citizens.
The structure welcomes visitors from June through September, Monday to Friday between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM, with restroom facilities available during summer.
Local residents opted for brick and plaster construction instead of wood, demonstrating their commitment to creating a lasting landmark for future generations.
