Hiidenniemi beacon tower

Hiidenniemi beacon tower (Hiidenniemen pooki in Finnish) was a historic daymark tower on the northern coast of Hailuoto island in Gulf of Bothnia in Finland. The structure was located at the northernmost point of the island, a minor promontory named Hiidenniemi.

The structure was built in 1859 from the plans drawn by Ernst Lohrmann. It was a wooden hexagonal (six-sided) tower. The tower had a topmarker, which was either a weather vane or a simple flag. The structure was later destroyed by fire and never rebuilt.

gollark: I would just carry a laptop in, you know, a laptop bag.

gollark: Well, reasonably priced given the market, but quite expensive by my price ranges...

gollark: Like the LG Gram ones, which are to be fair insanely expensive.

gollark: Isn't that more of a weight thing? There are light large laptops.
