Juminda Lighthouse, Concrete lighthouse in Juminda Peninsula, Estonia
Description
Juminda Lighthouse is a reinforced concrete tower standing on a peninsula along Estonia's northern coast. The cylindrical structure reaches 32 meters tall, with red and white paint sections designed to guide maritime traffic safely at sea.
History
The tower was built in 1931 with an original height of 24 meters to aid maritime navigation on the Baltic. A major renovation in 2006 expanded its height and modernized its navigation systems for contemporary shipping.
Culture
The lighthouse connects to Estonian literary traditions and appears in local maritime folklore. It serves as a landmark that binds the peninsula's history with the cultural identity of coastal communities.
Practical
The lighthouse sits on Juminda Peninsula and can be viewed from designated observation areas where visitors can see the working structure. Access to the site is straightforward along the northern coastline, with the tower continuing to serve active navigation purposes.
Did you know?
The tower produces a distinctive light signal called LFI W(2) 15s that seafarers can recognize from great distances at sea. This specific flashing pattern helps ships maintain safe passage along this section of coast.
