Kiipsaare Lighthouse, Concrete lighthouse at Harilaid Peninsula, Estonia.

The white and black striped cylindrical lighthouse stands 26 meters tall on the western coast of Saaremaa island in the Baltic Sea.

Built in 1933 at 150 meters from the shore, coastal erosion has gradually moved the structure into the water, causing it to tilt significantly.

The lighthouse gained recognition through its appearance in the 2003 Estonian film Somnambuul, representing maritime heritage of the Baltic region.

Visitors need to walk 4 kilometers from the parking area through Vilsandi National Park to reach this deactivated navigation structure.

Natural forces have shifted the lighthouse's position multiple times, with waves and currents occasionally pushing it toward a more vertical alignment.
