Enger Tower, Observation tower in Duluth, United States.
Enger Tower is a five-story stone structure that rises prominently from Enger Park in Duluth, offering views across Lake Superior and the Twin Ports area. Multiple windows line the interior stairwell, allowing visitors to look out across the landscape as they ascend the 105 steps to the top.
The tower was dedicated in 1939 by Crown Prince Olav and Crown Princess Martha of Norway as a tribute to Bert Enger, a prominent Norwegian immigrant. This dedication marked a significant moment of recognition for the Norwegian contributions to the region's development.
The tower stands as a monument to the Norwegian community that shaped Duluth's identity and character. Walking through its stone halls, you sense the pride of Norwegian immigrants who built much of this place.
Climbing to the top involves ascending 105 steps spread across multiple levels, which is manageable but takes some effort. Visiting on clear days gives you the best views, so plan your visit accordingly for visibility.
A green beacon sits atop the tower, originally installed to guide ships across Lake Superior and activated during special events. This navigational aid gives the structure a practical purpose beyond sightseeing.
