Enger Tower is an Template:Convert/LonAoffDbSon, five-story blue stone observation tower atop Enger Hill in Duluth, Minnesota.[citation needed] The tower is at an elevation of 451 feet ({{rnd/cTemplate:Rnd/b|137|(0+(0-−0.515985037−0−0.1989700043)round0)|0}} m) above Lake Superior, providing panoramic views of the Twin Ports.[1] Each of the tower's levels has a lookout that is accessible by stairs. A green beacon mounted on top of the tower can be seen for many miles.[2]

Dedicated by Crown Prince Olav and Crown Princess Martha of Norway on June 15, 1939, the tower memorializes Bert Enger, a Norwegian immigrant who found success as furniture seller and donated the land for Enger Park.[2]
