Lighthouse on Byriuchyi Island, Maritime navigation beacon in Kherson Oblast, Ukraine
The octagonal stone tower stands 30 meters high on Byriuchyi Island, providing essential navigation signals across the Azov Sea waters.
The original wooden lighthouse from 1878 served the Port of Henychesk until World War II, when it was destroyed and replaced with the current structure.
The lighthouse received recognition as a heritage site of local significance, bearing the cultural heritage designation number 65-221-0607 in Ukraine.
The lighthouse beam extends to a range of 15 nautical miles, guiding maritime vessels through the waters between the Azov Sea and Utliuk estuary.
Located on an island that connects to mainland Ukraine through a narrow strait, the lighthouse operates within the protected Azov-Sivash National Park territory.
