The tower was constructed by Jaan Alliksoo, a local resident known for his amateur architectural projects.
It stands at roughly one-tenth the scale of the original Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Construction was completed entirely without professional engineering blueprints.
The tower is located in the middle of a remote Estonian forest, far from any urban centers.
The site includes a small nearby area where visitors can purchase refreshments or local souvenirs during peak season.
The Hiiumaa Eiffel Tower is a wooden replica of the Parisian landmark located in the village of Reigi on Estonia's second-largest island. Built in 2007 by local resident Jaan Alliksoo, the structure stands approximately 31 meters tall. Unlike the original iron monument, this tower is constructed entirely from locally sourced wood. The creator built the structure as a tribute to the original after being inspired by its design. It serves as a private attraction on the creator's personal property, which also features other wooden constructions. The tower is visible from the surrounding rural landscape of Hiiu County.

Check the official Facebook page for updates on site access before traveling to Reigi.
Wear comfortable, sturdy walking shoes as the surrounding ground can be uneven or muddy.
Bring mosquito repellent, as the forested area is prone to insects during summer months.
Do not attempt to climb the tower, as it is a decorative structure not designed for public ascent.
The site is generally accessible during the warmer months; access may be limited or restricted during the harsh Estonian winter.
Respect private property boundaries and keep noise levels low as it is located in a quiet residential area.
