Sõrve Lighthouse, Maritime navigational tower in Torgu Rural Municipality, Estonia

The cylindrical concrete structure rises 52 meters above the Baltic Sea coast, featuring black exterior walls with a white lower section.

The first lighthouse was established in 1646 by Livonian governor-general Gabriel Oxenstierna, with the current structure constructed in 1960 after multiple rebuildings.

The lighthouse reopening in 2018 marked Estonia's centennial celebration, establishing a new connection between maritime heritage and public accessibility.

Visitors can explore the lighthouse daily from May through September between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM, with advance reservations required outside regular hours.

The structure holds the distinction of being the tallest lighthouse in the Baltic Sea region, offering views extending to the Latvian coast.
