Четырёхбугорный маяк, Regional heritage lighthouse in Vyshka, Russia.
The octagonal stone lighthouse stands 39 meters tall with seven windows and features a first-class Fresnel optical apparatus at its peak.
Following Peter the Great's mention of Four Hills Island in 1722, a wooden lighthouse was constructed in 1741, later replaced by the current stone structure in 1876.
The lighthouse bears its name from four surrounding hills: Large, Small, Round, and Lighthouse Hill, reflecting the geographical features of its original island location.
Located in the Limansky District of Astrakhan Oblast, the lighthouse now stands 30 kilometers from the Caspian Sea due to water level changes.
The lighthouse light reached a distance of 35 versts during its operational period before closing in the 1930s due to the Caspian Sea's declining water levels.
