Vienna lighthouse, Ornamental lighthouse on Danube Island, Austria
The white tower stands 32 meters tall near Reichsbrücke, featuring a spiral staircase leading to a gallery and glass dome illuminated at night.
The structure originated as a stage backdrop for Wagner's opera Der Fliegende Holländer at the Bregenz Festival in 1989, where performers jumped into Lake Constance.
The lighthouse marks the entrance to Sunken City, a seasonal entertainment district with restaurants and clubs operating from May to September along the Danube.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse via U1 metro station Donauinsel, with 24-hour service available before weekends and holidays for convenient access.
The structure functions as a support for weather cameras and broadcasting equipment while serving as an advertising space near the Danube riverfront.
