Enger Tower, Observation tower in Duluth, United States.
The five-story stone tower rises 80 feet above Lake Superior, providing panoramic views of the Twin Ports and surrounding Minnesota landscape.
Crown Prince Olav and Crown Princess Martha of Norway dedicated the tower in 1939, built as tribute to Norwegian immigrant Bert Enger.
The tower symbolizes the connection between Duluth and Norway, featuring traditional Scandinavian architectural elements throughout its stone construction.
Visitors can climb 105 steps through multiple levels with windows to reach the observation deck, which sits 450 feet above Lake Superior.
A green beacon mounted on top of the tower guides vessels across Lake Superior and illuminates the structure during special events.

Minnesota contains numerous locations away from the main tourist circuits. The state stretches from the shores of Lake Superior to the southern prairies, encompassing historic lighthouses, underground mines, waterfalls, and Japanese gardens. Visitors find both natural landscapes and cultural sites that tell the story of the region's history. Notable locations include prehistoric rock carvings at Jeffers Petroglyphs Site, where indigenous peoples left their marks thousands of years ago, and sacred trees of Ojibwe culture. The geological formation known as Devil's Kettle, a waterfall whose course puzzled scientists for years, attracts visitors interested in natural phenomena. Historic mines provide insight into Minnesota's industrial past, while lighthouses recall the maritime history along the largest of the Great Lakes.
