Vålandstårnet, Stone observation tower in Stavanger, Norway.
The stone structure rises 84 meters above sea level, featuring a round design with multiple floors and panoramic views of Stavanger below.
The current tower replaced a military watchtower from the Napoleonic War period, constructed in 1895 under city engineer Halvard Lange's supervision.
The tower serves as a gathering place where local organizations operate a Sunday café, offering Norwegian pastries and coffee to visitors.
The facility remains open for community groups to host meetings and events, with specific guidelines regarding cleaning and alcohol restrictions.
The structure initially contained the city's first pressurized water reservoir system, combined with a fire watch station and restaurant facilities.
