Faro de Rincón del Bonete, Lighthouse at Rincón del Bonete Lake, Uruguay.

Faro de Rincón del Bonete is an aerial beacon whose tower, built in 1937 by technicians of the Rincón del Bonete hydroelectric plant, doubles as the town's drinking-water tank. Its lantern, made by the BBT house of Paris, sits on top and can be seen with the naked eye within a 50 km radius. The tower follows German designs and resembles a watchtower.

The tower was built in 1937 by technicians working on the Rincón del Bonete hydroelectric plant, awarded in 1937 to a consortium of German firms. The lantern, made by the Paris house BBT, was first planned for Montevideo as a guide for airmail flights in the 1930s and was installed on the tower after 1942. It operated until 1970, stayed out of service until 1994, then was restored and put back in service for public display.

The tower doubles as the town's drinking-water tank, built to German designs and resembling a watchtower. The lantern, made by the BBT house of Paris, holds a Nazi swastika as the filament support, and since 1994 it has been kept working only for public display of this piece.

The tower doubles as the town's drinking-water tank and stands in the northern part of Rincón del Bonete, near the hydroelectric plant on the Río Negro. The lantern is now kept for public display rather than navigation, so visitors come to see the piece itself. The site is inland, so check road conditions before setting out.

The lamp was made by the BBT house of Paris and was first meant for Montevideo as a guide for airmail flights in the 1930s. Inside the lantern, a Nazi swastika served as the filament support. It ran until 1970, was restored in 1994 and is now shown to visitors.
