Located off Estonia’s northwest coast, Osmussaar Island hosts a unique WWII military structure – the 13-meter concrete Fire Control Tower. Built in 1941, it was part of a Soviet coastal defense system. The island was taken over by the Soviet Army in 1940, and residents were evacuated. The tower was damaged by German artillery but later repaired. Today, visitors can explore the preserved concrete pillars – a striking site for military history, war architecture, and Baltic coastal defense enthusiasts. An ideal destination for those interested in Estonia’s wartime legacy and natural surroundings.
