La Tour de Vinde, Combined lighthouse and Martello tower in Saint Brelade, Jersey.
La Tour de Vinde stands at the base of Noirmont Point cliffs, featuring a cylindrical structure with a light mounted on a mast at 18 meters height.
The British constructed this defensive tower between 1808 and 1810 to guard St Aubin's Bay, later converting it into a lighthouse in 1915.
The tower's name derives from Norse language, referring to the sailing maneuvers ships performed when approaching the harbor past this point.
Visitors can reach the tower location by foot during low tide, though the interior remains closed for public access.
The structure combines two distinct maritime functions with its black and white painted exterior serving as a daytime marker for navigation.
