Cap d'Antifer Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in La Poterie-Cap-d'Antifer, France.

The concrete lighthouse features fluted sides and reaches a height of 38 meters, providing guidance to vessels entering the Port of Le Havre.

The original 1894 structure was destroyed during World War II, leading to the construction of the current lighthouse in 1955, relocated 30 meters inland.

The lighthouse received monument historique status in 2002, recognizing its role in French maritime heritage and architectural contribution to the Normandy coast.

The lighthouse produces a steady beam visible for 29 nautical miles, flashing every 20 seconds to guide ships through the English Channel waters.

This structure uses a second-order optical lens system manufactured by F. Barbier, continuing the tradition of French maritime engineering excellence.
