The tower was built by the naval school to monitor the cadets around it. He stands on the foundations of the old castle. The cellar can still be visited. In the tower is now a café, which unfortunately suffers a little under the wind.

A strikingly beautiful building invites you to take a coffee break after a tour of the city.

The castle was a late defensive castle in Oulu. It was built in 1590 on an island in the Oulu River delta. The castle consisted mostly of wood and earth walls. A medieval castle likely stood on the same site as early as 1375.

Today, a café occupies the site.
