Pakri Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Lääne-Harju, Estonia

The cylindrical red stone tower stands 52 meters tall on the north-western edge of Pakri peninsula, marking the water's edge for ships navigating the northern coast.

Following orders from Peter the Great in 1724, a limestone lighthouse was constructed at this location, with the current structure completed in 1889 after several iterations.

The lighthouse represents maritime architectural advancement from the 19th century and maintains its status as an architectural monument recognized by international navigation authorities.

The structure remains operational and accessible by road from Paldiski, with visitor inquiries handled through phone number +372 55576087 or email andrus@paldiski360.ee.

Natural erosion and landslides necessitated moving the lighthouse 80 meters inland from its original position, making it the most slender lighthouse on Estonian shores.
