Water Tower, Hanko

Hanko water tower was built in 1942 on Vartiovuori hill. The height of the tower is 48m and it offers a fantastic panoramic view of Hanko. The round foot and the four columns support a cylindrical water reservoir(capacity of 500 cubic meters.)
Mermaids as decorations were originally planned for the tops of the columns but due to high costs, four shell decorations were sculpted. The clock is still ticking.
