The present tower on Castle Rock was built in 1888 after the first tower, built by the Tonsberg Maritime Club in 1856, burned to the ground.The original cross from the Church of Our Lady can be seen in the tower. Cato Engers model of the castle Castrum Tunsbergis has been casted in bronze and has it's place close to the tower. Mail dispatched from Castle Rock Tower has its own postmark with a special motif. The tower is 17 m high. There are three royal inscriptions on the tower.

It´s a tower. But magnificent both from a distance (lighted up in the evening) and close by for shadow in the summer. This is a rebuild, and close by there is a model of the whole castle. Tønsberg is norways oldest town.

The place is now available by foot. Esso refinery has cleaned up the area and it is now temporary open to the public. How long that will last is not known to me at this time. Great place for en evening walk
