Bülk Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Strande, Germany
Description
The Bülk Lighthouse is a 25-meter tall structure with distinctive black and white stripes located on the Strande coast. It marks the entrance to Kiel Fjord and serves as a navigation aid for vessels passing through these waters.
History
Danish authorities established the first lighthouse structure in 1807, but the present building dates to a later period in the 1800s. It was completed in 1865 after the German-Danish War had disrupted earlier construction efforts.
