Jarosławiec Lighthouse

Jarosławiec Lighthouse is a four-stage cylindrical tower topped with a white lantern structure that rises approximately 33 meters above ground. The building sits in a flat coastal landscape positioned between the towns of Darłowo and Ustka.

The first tower was built in 1835 but proved too short and blocked by trees, so a new structure was completed in 1838. Since then it has served as a navigation aid for Baltic Sea traffic.

The lighthouse stands as a landmark that connects visitors to generations of seafarers who depended on its guidance. Today, the site draws people interested in Poland's maritime heritage and the stories of the coast.

The grounds are open to visitors throughout the year and you can walk freely around the tower. The location is in a quiet coastal area where you can also explore the surrounding landscape.

The light signal from this tower can be seen by ships at considerable distances and still plays a role in modern navigation systems. Many visitors overlook how the structure remains part of active maritime infrastructure rather than being purely historical.
