Tahkuna Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Tahkuna Peninsula, Estonia
The cylindrical cast-iron tower, painted in white with a red lantern dome, rises 43 meters above the northern tip of Hiiumaa Island.
The lighthouse parts were manufactured in France and assembled in 1875 under the direction of English engineer Alexander Gordon during the Russian Empire period.
The lighthouse grounds contain a memorial sculpture created by Mati Karmin to commemorate children who died in the 1994 Estonia ferry disaster.
The maritime navigation structure projects light beams visible from 18 nautical miles, with a pattern of one long flash followed by two short flashes.
The structure incorporates a checkered pattern design in its metal construction to prevent moisture from entering through the cast iron segments.
