Slītere lighthouse

The Slītere lighthouse reaches 24 meters in height and stands on the edge of Blue Hills, 5.3 kilometers from the Baltic Sea shore.

Built in 1849 by the baron of Dundaga manor, the lighthouse initially served both as a forest fire surveillance point and navigation aid for ships.

The lighthouse received recognition through a commemorative postal stamp in 2019, joining a collection of fourteen Latvian lighthouse stamps released since 2003.

Visitors can access the fifth floor observation level, which offers views of the Baltic Sea and surrounding forests from 100 meters above sea level.

This inland lighthouse operated its rotary light until 1999 and now functions as part of Slītere National Park's environmental education program.
