Île-Verte Lighthouse, National historic lighthouse in Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs, Canada.

Located on Île Verte, the cylindrical stone tower rises 16.8 meters high, featuring a white exterior with a red lantern and trim marking the Saint Lawrence River.

Built between 1806 and 1809, this structure represents the oldest lighthouse on the Saint Lawrence River and the third oldest lighthouse across Canada.

The lighthouse compound includes the keeper's residence and fog alarm building, which now houses exhibits about maritime navigation and local heritage.

Visitors can access guided tours during summer months to climb the tower and observe the Saint Lawrence River from the observation platform.

Four generations of the Lindsay family maintained this lighthouse continuously from 1827 to 1964, establishing a remarkable dynasty of lighthouse keepers.
