LOOKOUT TOWER KIIKARTORNI

The original Kiikartorni was located in the harbour, close to the present maritime school. It was completed in 1892, at the peak of the Rauma sailing ship era. It offered information services to the harbour, the town, and those at sea.The tower was still giving weather reports in the 1940’s. It was torn down in 1956 as unnecessary.

The current lookout tower at the shore of the Syväraumanlahti bay is an exact copy of the old tower in the harbour. The 18,6 metre high tower was built in 1992. The tower offers a beautiful view into the archipelago as well as a chance to observe the lively traffic of the boat harbour.
