Queen's Tower (Neduntheevu)

The Queen's Tower (Tamil: இராணியின் கோபுரம்), also known as Quindah Tower; Tamil: குயிண்டாக் கோபுரம்) is a tower built by Dutch during their rule in Sri Lanka. It is located in southeastern coast of Neduntheevu.

It was used as a navigation point (also says as lighthouse) by the Dutch and British.
