Leuchtturm Arngast, Coastal lighthouse in Friesland, Germany
Leuchtturm Arngast is a navigation aid located on the North Sea coast in Friesland. The red and white-banded structure stands on sandy ground and guides ships through the shipping channels of Jade Bight.
The structure was built in 1910 to safely guide ships through challenging waters. Its foundation on sandy ground required special construction methods to ensure lasting stability.
The lighthouse has long served as a marker for coastal navigation in this region, helping sailors find their way to local ports. Visitors can understand its importance to shipping by observing the boats and waterways around it.
The structure is visible from outside and is located in an accessible coastal area. Visitors can explore the surrounding area and view the building from various angles, especially during good lighting conditions.
Since 1966, the structure has been powered by a submarine cable from Dangast. This upgrade modernized the power supply and replaced the original diesel generator system entirely.
