Užava lighthouse, Lighthouse in Užava Parish, Latvia

The cylindrical white lighthouse stands on a 28-meter high sand dune facing the Baltic Sea, with a balcony and lantern at the top.

The original lighthouse from 1879 was destroyed during World War I, leading to the construction of the current 19-meter structure in 1925.

The structure represents Latvia's maritime heritage as a National Industrial Monument, demonstrating the country's commitment to preserving its coastal navigation history.

The lighthouse costs 1 euro for adults and 0.50 euros for students and seniors, offering Baltic Sea views from its observation deck.

The base of the lighthouse requires continuous protection against Baltic Sea erosion through rock armor and specialized coastal reinforcement systems.
