Hanko Water Tower
Hangö vattentorn / Hangon vesitorni
A water tower dating from the 1950s on Church Hill. Its top viewing platform offers a 360-degree panorama of the Hanko peninsula and the archipelago sea.
Hanko Water Tower was built in the 1950s on a rocky knoll beside the church. A lift takes visitors to the top viewing platform, about 50 metres high, which offers 360-degree views over Hanko town, the harbour, seaside villas, and the scattered islets and skerries to the south. On clear days you can even see Russarö lighthouse. The tower is open in summer only, and admission is about 3 to 5 euros. It stands right beside Hanko Church, about a 10-minute walk from East Harbour.
Opening hours
