Oland lighthouse, Brick lighthouse in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

The square-shaped Oland lighthouse features a red brick construction with a height of 7 meters and incorporates a fixed light system with colored sectors.

The brick structure was built in 1929 and operated with liquified gas until 1954, when electric power was introduced to power the lantern.

The lighthouse stands as a vital navigational marker in Schleswig-Holstein, directing vessels through the Föhrer Ley and Dagebüll channels of northern Germany.

The optical lens system of the lighthouse slides out of the lantern casing, allowing maintenance workers to perform necessary repairs and adjustments.

This structure holds the distinction of being Germany's smallest lighthouse and incorporates a traditional thatched roof, making it different from other lighthouses.
