Alter Leuchtturm Wangerooge, Historical lighthouse in Wangerooge, Germany
The white lighthouse rises 39 meters above the North Sea coast, featuring 161 steps leading to an observation platform offering views toward Helgoland.
Built in 1856 following the devastating New Year's flood of 1854, this lighthouse replaced earlier structures and remained active until 1969.
The lighthouse base contains a museum with 900 exhibits, including old sea charts, rescue boat models, and historical guest lists from the island.
Adult admission costs 3 euros, while family tickets for two adults and up to three children are available for 9.50 euros.
Since 1996, couples can arrange marriage ceremonies in the former watchroom of the lighthouse keeper at Zedeliusstrasse 3.
