Keskiniemi Beacon Tower is the oldest surviving sea mark of Hailuoto on the north shore of the island. The Beacon was designed by Albin Stjerncreutz and was completed in 1858 to warn seafarers of the sandbanks spreading north of Keskiniemi. The Beacon is cubical structure up to six meters in height, and resembles a pyramid with a blunt point upwards. The height of the tower is approx. 18.9 meters above the ground. In its vicinity, a towering white sector glory was later built on a metal stand. Pooki is a culturally-historically valuable structure.
