Keri Lighthouse, Maritime navigation lighthouse on Keri Island, Estonia

The red cylindrical metal tower rises 31 meters above sea level, featuring a lantern room and balcony mounted on a stone base.

The first sea marker appeared on Petter Gedda's nautical chart in 1695, leading to Tsar Peter I ordering a stone pillar construction in 1718.

The Estonian Post Office issued a commemorative stamp of Keri Lighthouse in 2003, recognizing its role in maritime navigation history.

The automated lighthouse operates with solar cells and batteries, emitting light visible up to 11 nautical miles with a 15-second sequence pattern.

From 1907 to 1912, the structure functioned as the only lighthouse in the world powered by natural gas extracted from the island.
