Ault lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Ault, France.
The white lighthouse with red brick top reaches 28 meters in height and stands 108 meters above sea level on the Onival cliff.
German forces destroyed the original 1885 brick lighthouse in June 1940, leading to the construction of the current concrete structure in 1951.
The lighthouse maintains its role in maritime navigation while representing the coastal heritage of the Somme department in northern France.
The lighthouse operates automatically with a 650-watt halogen lamp, controlled remotely from the Saint-Valery-sur-Somme station, projecting light visible for 31 kilometers.
Starting July 2024, visitors will climb 100 steps to reach the top of this structure, reopening after 27 years of closure.
