Elamuskeskus Tuuletorn - Windtower Experience
About This Museum
Perched on the windswept island of Hiiumaa, the Elamuskeskus Tuuletorn isn't your typical museum—it's a climb up a historic lighthouse. This 19th-century coastal sentinel, once a vital beacon for Baltic sailors, now invites you to discover its story from the ground up. You'll explore the keeper's quarters before making the rewarding ascent. The real prize? Stepping out onto the balcony for breathtaking, panoramic views of the surrounding sea and forest that make the climb utterly worthwhile.
Collection Highlights
The main attraction is the tower itself and its original, beautifully preserved Fresnel lens assembly. Interactive exhibits bring to life the daily routines and challenges of the lighthouse keepers and their families.
Visitor Information
Wear comfortable shoes for the climb! It's a good idea to check their website for opening times before you go, as they can vary with the seasons.
Architecture & Building
