Pointe-à-la-Renommée Lighthouse, Historic lighthouse on Gulf of St. Lawrence, Quebec, Canada.
The Pointe-à-la-Renommée Lighthouse stands 200 feet above high tide, featuring a white tower with a black horizontal band for daytime identification.
Built in 1880 for $4,000, the original wooden tower was replaced in 1906 with a cast-iron structure that incorporated a first-order Fresnel lens.
The Ascah family maintained the lighthouse through multiple generations, contributing to the maritime heritage of the St. Lawrence River region.
The site operates from June to September, offering guided tours, exhibits about radio communications, and access to hiking trails between mountains and coast.
The lighthouse earned the title of most traveled lighthouse after spending 20 years in Quebec City before returning to its original location in 1997.
